1988 Tayana Aft Cockpit

Accomodations:
If you are a serious cruiser, the most important thing to look at first is the cockpit because that is where you will spend 90% of your waking hours, say nothing about naps or sleeping under the stars while off shore. This vessel passes this critical test with flying colors! Look at the cockpit photos and you will see seats long enough to sleep on, high back support, room to eat and/or entertain, secure positions for when conditions are rough, a dry cockpit in foul conditions, excellent cockpit drainage, and a high bridge deck. Inside the accommodations provide the beautiful teak, quality workmanship and warm feeling you expect from Tayana. The L-shaped galley, with its new counter tops, separate refrig and freezer, deep stainless sinks, new Force Ten propane stove/oven/broiler and great storage is on the port side at the base of the companionway ladder. This location makes it easy to pass food and beverage to the crew. The private aft cabin, with sleeping for two plus good storage and hanging space is across from the galley on starboard. Just forward of the aft cabin is the navigation station with instruments that repeat all the information provided at the helm (boat speed, depth, wind speed/direction, VHF, autopilot, etc) plus all electric circuit breakers and battery monitoring information.The main salon has an L-shaped settee on port with a bulkhead mounted fold-down table (great storage behind the table when in the up position). On starboard there are two tub chairs. Both sides of the main salon have great storage, shelves and book racks, plus there is a flat screen TV.Forward of the main salon on port is the full marine head (more new counter tops) and a separate walk-in shower. Across from the head are more cabinets and hanging lockers. The forward sleeping cabin is forward of the marine head and has a large V-shaped berth for two people plus good storage and ventilation.
