About the Tayana 47 Cc Sailboat

Built by Taiwan's respected Ta Yang Yacht Building Company starting in 1991, this Robert Perry-designed cutter represents serious offshore cruising capability wrapped in classic styling. The 47-footer's substantial 35,000-pound displacement and deep 6-foot draft create the foundation for a true bluewater passage maker, while the fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration balances performance with directional stability. Perry's design philosophy shines through in the boat's generous beam of 14.5 feet, providing exceptional interior volume and initial stability. The cutter rig offers versatility for varying wind conditions, particularly valuable during long passages where sail plan flexibility becomes crucial. With a comfort ratio of 36.35, this yacht prioritizes seaworthiness and motion comfort over pure speed, making it ideal for extended offshore cruising where crew comfort matters most. The fiberglass construction reflects Ta Yang's reputation for solid, well-built vessels that have proven themselves across the world's oceans. A capsize screening formula of 1.78 indicates good stability characteristics for offshore work, while the 8.5-knot hull speed provides respectable passage-making performance. This design appeals to serious cruisers seeking a dependable platform for extended voyaging, whether coastal cruising or trans-oceanic passages.
