1985 Tayana 37 Cutter — “GYATSO”

A legendary Bob Perry bluewater design — a proven offshore platform ready for restoration.

Few production sailboats have earned the offshore reputation of the Tayana 37. Designed by Bob Perry and built by the renowned Ta-Yang Yacht Building Co. in Taiwan, she is a heavily built, seakindly cutter that has carried owners safely across oceans for four decades. “GYATSO” is cutter rigged with all lines led aft to the cockpit, making her manageable for shorthanded and singlehanded passagemaking.

Offered as a restoration project, she gives the right buyer a rare opportunity: a sturdy, capable, and fundamentally sound bluewater hull — the expensive, hard-to-replace foundation — paired with a remarkable amount of recent, high-quality work already completed and a substantial inventory of brand-new equipment waiting to be installed. Acquire a proven Perry-designed world cruiser and finish her out to your own standard.

Her Yanmar 3QM30 30HP diesel has been rebuilt and shows under 300 hours since. Much of the costly sail and canvas work most buyers dread has already been handled, all by Quantum Sails Annapolis.
