Description

The Tayana Vancouver 42 is a proven bluewater voyager—strong, balanced, and ready for distance cruising. Della Therese has been maintained in good structural and cosmetic condition, as confirmed by her 2022 marine survey. With no signs of blistering or delamination, freshly painted bottom, and a comprehensive equipment list, she’s ready to go offshore in comfort and confidence.

Her solid fiberglass hull, deep cutter rig, and heavy displacement provide the sea-kindly motion and safety this design is famous for. Inside, you’ll find a warm teak interior, a practical offshore galley, and accommodations for extended cruising or liveaboard life.
