1996 Tayana 48 CENTER COCKPIT

If you have never been aboard a fine quality Tayana sailboat, prepare for a treat. This Bob Perry designed boat, robust Taiwan construction, sensible & spacious layout and beautiful hand rubbed, satin varnish, teak interior. The large comfortable center-cockpit gives the helmsman and crew a commanding view of the entire deck and surrounding water. It also allows for a large, ample headroom master suite aft. Entering the companionway and stepping below one enters the spacious main salon. The companionway ladder is furniture quality with a custom clear Lexan back panel. Forward to port, is a cozy oval settee and custom folding teak table. Main salon lighting is excellent, featuring two large port and starboard windows. Teak and holly cabin sole throughout all cabins. There is plenty of storage space in all cabins. The overhead throughout is soft off-white vinyl. All light fixtures are Italian, gold-plated brass Cantalupi fixtures. The stereo speakers are recessed into the overhead and headliner. From the companionway, immediately to port is a spacious and comfortable galley, with many quality features. Immediately to starboard is a large "L" shaped navigation console with an adjustable, swiveling chair. Ahead to starboard is a straight settee. The custom folding teak table can be expanded to a full-size table for six or folded to accommodate 3-4. The table can also be lowered and locked to support an additional berth cushion to enable the settee to serve as an extra berth. The large, "L" shaped navigation console allows for two work areas. Over each area is plenty of room for electronics, radar, SSB, displays, radios, etc. The "L-shaped navigation console is a signature feature of the Tayana 48. The galley has several special features. The galley and passage aft are full height and run aft along the port side. The galley boasts a custom four burner stove with oven, two separate top and front access refrigerator and freezer compartments, plenty of storage, counterspace.

Ahead of the main salon is the customized forward guest cabin. It consists of a large cabin with a centerline V berth, and generous storage. The forward head has two entrances, one private entrance from the guest cabin, and another serving the main salon. The forward head is quite large, with vanity, stainless steel sink, Grohe fixtures 12-volt electric head, and shower. Aft of the main salon and galley is the aft master suite. It consists of a large cabin with a centerline queen, generous storage and a large ensuite head, vanity, stainless steel sink, 12-volt electric head and shower.

The Yanmar 88 hp engine and Phaser 7.0 kw generator are located amidships, in the central island, beneath the cockpit. The engine and generator compartment are accessible from the nav station, galley, salon, and aft head.

“Serene” is a 1996 48’ Cutter rigged Robert Perry designed Tayana 48 sailing vessel. The Tayana line of sailing vessels was heavily built coastal/offshore cruisers built for both near coastal as well as extended offshore blue water cruising. “Serene” is a very well-equipped Tayana 48 with a full complement of offshore sailing equipment that has been maintained by the present owners to very high standards. The rigging was professionally inspected from deck level and aloft by Christian Damm in 2018. “Serene” is a turnkey vessel that is ready for any extended blue water cruising.
