Tayana Center Cockpit Cutter

PRICE HAS JUST BEEN REDUCED!!! Sept. 27, 2011

The Tayana 52 is a truly stunning sailing yacht. Few yachts will exhibit her symmetry or her head-turning beauty. The venerable designer, Robert Perry said, “Perhaps once in a lifetime a yacht design will come together perfectly; her lines, her sheer, and her performance…For me, it was the Tayana 52.”

PolarBear is perhaps the finest center cockpit Tayana 52 ever built. Constructed for famed land speed record holder, Craig Breedlove, Mr. Perry was hired to personally supervise her construction. She was given the first and one of the only lead keels, which allowed for an oversized, light air mast giving her unusually spritely light air reach and stunning stability in heavy winds and seas.

Mr. Breedlove fitted her with the finest English made stainless steel (rare) and it needs little maintenance to present. With her lead keel, fine sheer and resulting reserve buoyancy, PolarBear takes head seas remarkably well and is masterfully sea kindly downwind.

Polarbear, (then named Wannago) was again refit and circumnavigated by famed sail designer and arguably the best American sailor of his day, Lowell North who took the BaJPur 1500 record with him while passing New Delhi, India. She is a fast, proven world cruising yacht. She has been refit yearly by her present owner who cruised her extensively since 1997.

The Tayana 52 PolarBear is arguably one of the finest large yachts to be found in her delivery range. She sails in light and heavy air better than most cruising yachts, and yet remains notably comfortable and elegant despite her prowess. And with a rare two stateroom layout, she doesn’t really need to be shared.
