Tayana 48 2006

Introducing MERIDIAN, a distinguished 2006 Tayana 48, expertly crafted by Ta Yang and designed by renowned naval architect Robert H. Perry. This exceptional offshore cruising yacht strikes an ideal balance in the bluewater market, offering ample comfort for long passages, generous storage, and easy access to systems, all while being manageable for an experienced cruising couple. The Tayana 48 showcases the evolution of Perry's designs, transitioning from the earlier heavy displacement models to a more contemporary performance-oriented form. With a waterline of 40 ft 3 in and a moderate displacement of 35,000 lbs, her cutter rig, skeg-supported rudder, encapsulated ballast keel, and practical center-cockpit layout provide the strength, stability, and security that serious offshore sailors demand, all while ensuring a rewarding sailing experience and comfortable motion at sea. Since 2012, MERIDIAN has been cherished by her current owners, who have taken her on extensive voyages from the Pacific to the Caribbean, and their care is evident. She boasts a significant upgrade history that appeals to buyers eager to cruise rather than simply admire a yacht at the dock. Notable enhancements include oversized Dyform stainless standing rigging, Raymarine Axiom electronics, a Victron inverter, solar panels, a watermaker, newer water tanks, updated refrigeration plates, bow thruster battery upgrades, fresh exterior canvas, renewed upholstery, well-maintained sails, and meticulous varnish work. Below deck, MERIDIAN offers the inviting warmth and quality that Taiwanese-built yachts are known for, featuring solid teak joinery, a teak-and-holly sole, a spacious saloon, a dedicated navigation station, an offshore galley, and a three-cabin, two-head layout with a large aft owner's stateroom and easily accessible engine space. This yacht is thoughtfully designed for life aboard, with practical storage, handholds, ventilation, and system access precisely where cruising owners need them. For those in search of a proven, Caribbean-ready bluewater cruiser in the 45 to 50 ft range, MERIDIAN is a standout choice. She seamlessly combines Robert Perry's design pedigree, Tayana's build quality, offshore-ready systems, attentive ownership, and a substantial list of meaningful upgrades, all positioned in Grenada for the next owner's cruising adventures.
