Running Rigging:   All running rigging is in very good condition.  Running back stays are secured forward when not in use by line controls from the cockpit.

Propulsion

In 2001 the original teak decks were removed and replaced with brand new  5/8 inch teak planking rather than the standard 1/2 inch. The teak is sealed into the fiberglass without the use of screws to prevent leaks.  Current condition is very good.

Sail handling equipment:

  • Aluminum spinnaker pole and an aluminum Forespar whisker pole mounted on deck.
  • Spinnaker reaching strut is mounted on the stanchions.
  • ProFurl Nl52 and a LCI42 and standing rigging were installed during the major refit in 2000-2001 of the Cutter Rig’s 2 roller curlers.
  • Rigging terminals are Staylock type.
  • Split back stay is insulated and serves as the SSB and Ham radio antenna.

Mounted on the aft deck are two large fiberglass/teak deck boxes; the 8 person Avon life raft canister and two igloo ice chests.  All these items have their own Sunbrella covers.  2 deck hatches open.

Two fender boards are secured in stainless steel mounts on the aft starboard stanchions. These mounts are suitable for carrying a surfboard/paddle board as well.

On the aft port side is a radar pole/outboard hoist for the two outboards:

  • 2012, 9.9hp Mercury – with hour meter – 50 hrs+ reported.
  • 2000 15hp Yahama which are mounted on the stern rail. Less than 30 hrs reported – with hour meter.

On the fore deck is the 10′ West marine RIB inflatable mounted in its own custom teak cradle. The RIB has a custom 5-gallon aluminum fuel tank in its bow.

Aft Deck Locker – this hatch centerline houses dive tank storage and room for additional storage of lines, etc.

Note – Stern shower on swim step.

Port Lights and Hatches

Hatches   All eight deck hatches are Guiot cast aluminum with Lexan lenses replaced in 2001.  1 fore hatch opens to the sail locker; 2 hatches open into each forward stateroom; 2 hatches open into the main salon: 2 hatches open into the aft master state room and 1 large hatch opens into the aft lazarette.

Portlights   The hull & cockpit have 17 Guiot portlights which are equipped with one half inch Lexan storm cover lenses in addition to the original lenses producing an exceptional seaworthy watertight system.

Engine Room

The Engine room is accessed from the cockpit ladder.  A small work bench provides space to tackle service.

The dive compressor is outboard.

Stand-up engine room to the port side of the engine.

Service Access – Port side of the engine is serviceable from the engine room. Starboard side is accessed behind the pantry. Forward side access is available from the panels behind the main salon stairs. Aft access is from the Owners stateroom.

Domestic hot water can be heated from the engine, or generator power.

Onan 8kw generator is below the work bench.  This has a new starter and fuel solenoid.  In addition, a spare starter and fuel pump is in spares as well.

The Perkins 130 hp engine has been serviced – and documented very well – by the owners.  They have tremendous experience and a deep knowledge of this engine and how to keep it in top shape.  They have literally traveled around the world with their Tayana 55 and the main engine is paramount to keep in top shape.  Their documentation shows this attention to detail and the extensive spares list allows a new owner to learn these parts early on and have on hand if service is needed without hunting manuals for part numbers and sourcing them.  Experience matters: new owners will benefit from this very tangible set of assets included with the yacht.

This is a Direct Drive shaft and propeller with 3 blade MaxProp (Serviced 2021) and Aquadrive for a smooth turn of the shaft.

Generator and Charging System

The genset aboard is an Onan 8Kw unit with sound shield.  Start-up is on the unit itself in the engine room with remote start panel in at the Nav Station outboard behind the ships chart monitor. Main Battery breakers are also located at the Nav Station, as well as Shore to Generator switch.

A Xantrex 2000 Inverter is located at the Nav Station.  Included is a spare 2000 watt inverter/battery charger.

DC System: T-145 deep cycle batteries (8) for 1,000 amp hours in four independent banks.

200 amp hour start battery.

Charging for batteries is shore power, the (2) 120 amp engine alternators, or the Onan 8kw genset.

AC System:  Shore power 110v or the 8kw genset provides power. For international voyages a 3Kva step-down transformer 220V to 110V is located in the aft lazarette for marinas with 220/50 cycle service.

Both AC and DC panels are mounted at the Nav Station. A smaller remote panel to indicator resides in view for the Starting battery condition in the Owner’s Stateroom next to the berth
