The Tayana 37 is a much sought-after, Bob Perry designed, cruising classic. Athena is a 2-cabin, 1-head, heavy displacement, full-keel vessel and is currently in the water in Lancaster, VA. You will be hard-pressed to find a boat of this model in such good condition.
The Tayana 37 is known for it’s sea-kindliness and offshore performance capabilities. The canoe stern helps push the water away from the cockpit and helps the boat ride out big weather in relative comfort – you are unlikely to get ‘pooped’ in this boat. The cutter rig allows the crew to set the sails on an upwind course and the boat will track without much need to touch the helm. Downwind, one can pole out the sails or use the cruising spinnaker.
The current owners have owned her for 30 years and cruised extensively during that time. Not only have the owners of Athena ‘used and cruised’ her, they have done numerous significant, ‘big ticket’ upgrades over the years.
Equipment and upgrades include:
Yanmar 4JH45 Engine installed 2016 (800 hours)
Valeo 110A Alternator
New steering cables (2019)
Chainplates replaced (2016)
Bowsprit, Samson post and anchor locker bulkhead replaced (2012)
Teak side-decks removed, deck re-cored with Divinycell & covered w/ fibreglass (2019)
Hull and Deck re-painted w/ Awlgrip (2019)
Mast & Boom pulled & repainted w/ Awlgrip (2019)
Rigging inspected (2019)
New Raymarine Autopilot (2017)
Wind, depth and speed control heads replaced (2019)
Athena also has the following equipment:

The owners took her to New England for the summer and have recently returned. So if you are ready to South for the winter, Athena is too!
