1979 Tayana 37

Brokers Comments

Seldom does a boat come along with so much new equipment at such a reasonable price. No expense was spared as this vessel was intended to circle the globe and the owner wanted peace of mind during the gales he envisioned. This boat is now bulletproof. What he didn't do was the cosmetic stuff and some plumbing. Brightwork is sound, but looks rough. Deck is sound, but needs painting. Interior wood work and cabin floor is all in good shape, but needs refinishing. The systems however are ready to go except installing the brand new autoplilot, AIS, install new plumbing hoses, and a few minor do-it-yourself jobs.

The boat itself and accomodations

There are more Tayana 37's ocean voyaging than any other manufactured boat in the world. There is a reason for this. Immensely strong and overbuilt hull, rudder is supported top and bottom.

Newer refrigeration unit, brand new propane stove, brand new diesel heater. Airhead composting toilet, never have to empty a holding tank again!

Plumbing

The old plumbing hoses have been removed, and the new ones not yet installed. This is a fairly low tech, do-it-yourself job. There is a brand new hot water heater as well that has not been installed.  All the hard stuff is already done on this boat. Thought we would leave something for the new owner to do besides sanding and varnishing brightwork!

Engine

 Windhorse has the original 30 horsepower Yanmar diesel. It has been gone over and is in excellent condition. The broker did some close quarter maneuvering under power last summer and was surprised at the amount of power and amount of maneuverability this boat had even though it is a full keel vessel. That cutaway forefoot and large rudder really helps.
