1990 1990 Tayana Center Cockpit

What stands out on this Tayana is how honestly “cruiser-ready” she feels once you step aboard. The center cockpit gives you a secure working space underway, yet the aft deck still feels generous enough for lounging at anchor. Below, the workshop area by the nav station is a huge win for anyone who actually maintains their own boat; there’s room to spread out tools and tackle real projects. The traditional cutter rig and Monitor windvane invite long passages without relying on the autopilot every mile. Teak has been cared for rather than stripped away, so you still get that warm, classic feel without inheriting years of deferred maintenance.

A Tayana center cockpit is particularly well suited to this cruising ground, where conditions can swing from gentle afternoon breezes to blustery frontal passages. The protected cockpit keeps crew dry and secure when the wind pipes up, while the cutter rig offers flexible sail plans for variable weather. With generous tankage, storage, and a true offshore interior layout, you can comfortably stretch your range between marinas and anchorages. Deep bulwarks, stout handholds, and a seakindly hull shape build confidence when crossing open stretches, yet the manageable size still works well for short-handed docking in tighter harbors and crowded mooring fields.
