Boat Description

Introducing the 1976 Tayana 37 "Kama" — a classic bluewater cruiser designed by the esteemed naval architect Robert Perry. This sailboat, known for its robust construction by Ta Yang Yacht Building Co. in Taiwan, has a storied history of ocean crossings and has earned its stellar reputation among serious sailors. With over 600 hulls launched, the Tayana 37 stands as a benchmark for offshore cruising. Kama is a genuine representation of this iconic model. While she is structurally sound and equipped with solid mechanical systems, she is not a turnkey vessel and requires a discerning owner with a vision. The exterior shines with fresh hull paint, though the interior needs considerable cosmetic and functional work. This boat is perfect for someone who appreciates classic design, proven bluewater capability, and is ready to put in the effort to restore a legendary vessel to its former glory. Key Features Include: - Beta BV 1505 diesel engine (37.5 HP) with dual alternators - Engine-mounted compressor for Technicold refrigeration - Self-steering wind vane for effortless offshore passages - Manual Lewmar 555 windlass - New boom gallows - Seward Force 10 propane stove (2-burner with oven) - Newmar DC electrical panel with Freedom Heart interface - Icom ICM56 VHF radio Performance & Design Credentials: - Comfort Ratio: ~38.2, ensuring excellent offshore motion and liveaboard comfort - Capsize Ratio: ~1.85, well within safe offshore parameters Why Choose the Tayana 37? - Full keel and heavy displacement offer outstanding directional stability - Sturdy fiberglass construction and classic teak joinery (once restored) - Timeless double-ender aesthetics with unmistakable bluewater charm - Proven ocean-crossing track record Important Buyer Notes: Kama's interior requires significant attention, with systems, finishes, and overall condition falling short of typical "ready-to-cruise" standards. This is not a simple cosmetic upgrade; it is a project for an owner who: - Appreciates classic offshore yachts - Prioritizes structure and pedigree over superficial appearances - Possesses the skills, budget, or vision to restore a proven design The reward is the opportunity to own a vessel that is truly irreplaceable at contemporary production-boat prices. Kama is available for viewing at McCotters Marina. Call today to arrange an in-person walkthrough. If you're on the hunt for a genuine bluewater classic and are not deterred by some honest work, Kama presents a rare chance to revive one of the most cherished cruising sailboats ever constructed.
