1980 Tayana mariner 36

For Sale is a beautiful classic, heavy displacement blue water cruiser that has never left the fresh water of the Great Lakes. This 1980 Tayana-Mariner 36 is a cutter and sails like a dream.

She has a beautiful handcrafted teak interior, as well as many teak exterior finishes, including a spindled stern rail. All exterior teak was just scrapped, sanded and varnished with 4 coats of total boat varnish 2 months ago, so itll be beautiful for years to come with little effort. There are many structural and cosmetic upgrades over the last 2 years, with more than 1200 man hours put into her.

She sleeps 5 with two aft beds and one V berth dining table that makes into a large bed. The cockpit is large with a custom table, a classic wheel and refurbished wood captains chair with hidden storage.

If you want a stable, easy to sail boat, then this one’s for you. She can handle Lake Michigan- she can handle the ocean. The keel is fully encapsulated and the hull is solid glass, thick at the keel and ⅝ thick at the cap rail. Chain plates are easily inspected and thru-bolted lifeline stanchions are easily accessible. All tankage is under the cabin sole to increase stability, and fully accessible through large access panels.

The 50 HP Perkins 4-108 engine is original, but only has 1900 hours on it and runs great. She has a huge refrigerator that my 61 husband can get into (and has) with a small freezer built into the evaporator. Headroom throughout the cabin is about 63. After fully stocking for a month aboard, there was still inside storage to spare. Cockpit storage is also huge with two enormous lazarettes. She has an electric, macerator head, which is amazing.

She has a brand new custom sea turtle bow sprit, and pewabic tile work on the interior and her character turns heads wherever we go.

She is meticulously maintained, with regular oil changes, cleaning and winterizing. She has 10 coats of barrier paint to the bottom 4 years ago with three layers of ablative. She will need a new coat of bottom pain this spring. The bottom is beautiful, and smooth.
