The Tayana 37 is a Taiwanese sailboat that was designed by American Robert Perry as a cruiser and first built in 1976.

The design has a spooned raked stem, a canoe transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed modified long keel, with a cutaway forefoot.

[1] The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 33 hp (25 kW) for docking and maneuvering.

The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side and includes a shower, with a teak floor grating, plus hot and cold pressurized water.

[3] Ventilation is provided by eleven bronze ports, a teak forward hatch and a teak-framed skylight.

This boat is quite heavy by today's standards, but it sails remarkably well and can serve effectively as both a coastal and bluewater cruiser.

The deep, full-keel bottom is designed for bluewater cruising, and the vessel’s 22,500-pound displacement includes 8,000 pounds of outside ballast.

The deck profile shows a traditional trunk cabin ahead of a roomy aft cockpit with pedestal steering and controls, surrounded by a high coaming.
