This 1976 Tayana 37, Kama, is designed by world-renowned naval architect Robert Perry, represents one of the most iconic and trusted offshore cruising sailboats ever built. Constructed by Ta Yang Yacht Building Co. in Taiwan, this double-ender has earned its reputation for rugged construction, ocean-crossing ability, and timeless design. With over 600 hulls built, the Tayana 37 has proven itself as a true passage-maker across the globe.
This particular Tayana 37 is well-equipped for serious cruising, featuring a Beta BV 1505 (37.5 HP) diesel engine with twin alternators and an engine-mounted compressor for the onboard Technicold refrigeration system. The rig is supported with a new boom gallows, and she’s fitted with a self-steering wind vane, making her ideal for extended offshore passages. Comfort and simplicity are prioritized with a manual Lewmar 555 windlass, Seward Force 10 propane stove (2-burner with oven), and an updated Newmar DC circuit panel with Freedom Heart interface.
