The Tayana 55, a 55-foot center-cockpit bluewater cruiser built by Ta Yang Yacht Building in Taiwan and designed by Peter Beldschneider, occasionally lists for under $89,000 — less than many used 40-foot production boats.0:30 At 48,400 pounds displacement, 16-foot beam, and a ballast ratio of 36%, the boat has genuine offshore credentials.1:40 A centerboard variant draws 5 feet 3 inches with the board up and nearly 10 feet down, making shallow anchorages accessible without sacrificing lateral plane offshore.1:56 The displacement-to-length ratio of 223 and sail-area-to-displacement of 17 place it in a capable middle ground for a heavy cruiser.3:05 The danger is that the low purchase price masks costs that scale with the boat's 55-foot length: teak deck core rot, aged or undocumented standing rigging, suspect chainplates, deteriorated fuel and water tanks, and centerboard pivot and trunk condition all require professional inspection.4:42 Many were originally powered by a turbocharged Perkins diesel around 120 horsepower, but repowers are common and provenance matters.7:05 Marina fees, haulouts, sails, and labor all price at 55-foot rates regardless of what the buyer paid.8:46 A Tayana 55 with documented refit history and a clean survey can be a capable liveaboard and passage maker; one with deferred maintenance and missing records is an expensive trap dressed in teak.
