The Tayana Vancouver 42 is a well-built Robert Harris designed, offshore cruiser with a cruising range, load-carrying capacity and comfortable motion seldom found in boats under 45 feet. The boat's 11,800 pounds of ballast is in a single iron casting, encapsulated inside the keel's thick walls. Makai is an amazing example of a true blue-water cruiser. Almost every system on the boat has been renewed, replaced, or restored. Well over $150,000 in system renovation/upgrades have been completed over the last 6 years. No teak decks!
