1988 Tayana 37
$75,000
Located in Cape Charles, Va. Josie is well equipped and ready for cruising. The current owner and two previous owners have rebuilt or upgraded much of the boat starting in 2019. There is almost too much to list. Josie is dry with no leaks or soft spots in the deck. The rig is easy to handle with sails new in 2022 in good condition. There is a high cut jib on a Schaefer roller furler, a removable hank on staysail in a deck bag, and a triple reef main. There is also an asymmetrical spinnaker in a spinnaker sock. The interior is ideal for cruising couples or a solo sailor, but can comfortably accommodate occasional guests. There is plenty of storage. The head has a separate shower. There is reverse cycle AC/heat when connected to shore power.
Unique to this vessel is a custom-built dodger completed in 2022. Dodger is carbon fiber painted to match. This provides a dry comfortable area in cockpit during passages and also holds 480 watts of flexible solar panels that offset the majority of day to day electricity use. Canvas work for the dodger completed with high quality Makrolon glass in 2022 has a nice flip up center window that allows airflow. Boat was converted over to lithium in 7/25. Installation was done at Herrington Harbor in Deale, Maryland by Marine Technical Services. There are now 3- 12.8 volt 200 amp Victron lithium batteries. Alternator was upgraded to a Balmar XT-DF-170 during the installation. There is an insulated hot water heater tied to engine that keeps hot water for about 2 days. There is a 70 pound spade anchor with 200 feet of chain replaced in 2025. There is a custom winter cover. Engine is a 1988 Yanmar 4jhe, partial rebuild in 2025, 1200 hours on the engine. The owners sailed Josie to the Bahamas from Cape Charles over the last two winters. We are selling Josie because of some unforeseeable life changes.
