Tayana Vancouver 42 CC
Avanti is a truly unique, semi-custom blue-water cruiser. Designed by Robert H. Perry and built by the renowned Ta Yang Yacht Building Co., this Vancouver 42 CC features a one-of-a-kind interior designed by the owners in collaboration with shipyard engineers. She is a robust, semi-full keel cutter rig built for stability and comfort, having safely sailed from San Francisco to Panama.
The vessel has been meticulously cared for, spending the last eight years at Shelter Bay Marina under a regular maintenance contract with monthly engine runs and professional oversight. With no history of accidents, groundings, or harsh weather exposure, Avanti represents a reliable platform for her next offshore adventure.
