The Tayana VANCOUVER 42 is a Robert B. Harris-designed cutter-rigged sailboat built by Tayana, Ta Yang Yacht Building Co. Ltd. from 1979 to the present, offered in aft and center cockpit models. It measures 12.7 meters LOA with a 3.8-meter beam, a 1.8-meter draft, and displaces 13,225 kg. Aboard *Millennial Falcon*, the crew sailed from the Azores to Madeira, encountering 13 to 20 knots of wind and two-meter seas, initially carrying a full sail plan with a staysail before dousing it when the wind shifted aft.13:00 They used a Hydrovane for steering and reduced battery consumption.10:58 On an 800-mile passage from St. Martin to Bermuda, *Millennial Falcon* maintained speeds of six to seven knots in 18-knot beam winds, with the crew tightening a loose Hydrovane A-bracket bolt underway.5:59 The crew performed a major refit in Grenada, including engine realignment, Sigma Drive installation, and new turning blocks.1:49 They later replaced undersized sheet winches with 44-size units sourced from a salvage warehouse in Faro, Portugal, and installed new Dacron headsail and staysail from Precision Sails, which allowed the boat to maintain five to six knots with less heel during sea trials.19:53
