Tayana 37 in vendita (1989) in Dunoon, Regno Unito

These cutters, designed by Robert Perry for a commission by Will Eckert of Flying Dutchman Yachts, are one of the most successful boats of their type. Nearly 600 of these vessels were built by Ta Yang Yacht Building in Taiwan, primarily for the U.S. market, where they remain popular blue-water cruisers.

The owner has retained original build drawings. Hull 574 was the first of the type to utilise a vinyl ester resin gelcoat, giving her a superior resistance to osmosis.

Capercaillie has had only one owner since new and boasts an impressive history. It has successfully crossed the Atlantic and cruised extensively around the West Coast of Scotland. This highly capable and comfortable cruiser is now seeking a new owner to embark on future adventures.
