TAYANA YACHTS | 2014 TAIWAN INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW
Who would have thought Taiwan’s most successful export would be a sailing yacht
Who would have thought Taiwan’s most successful export would be a sailing yacht? At the 2014 Taiwan International Boat Show it was revealed that Tayana Yachts has sold an incredible 600 of the iconic Tayana 37 bluewater cruising models. Marketing director Dick Beaumont used the Taiwan boat show to announce a new direction for the company.
Currently under construction is Tayama Yachts White Dragon, the 66ft flagship of the new Elegance range, designed by New Zealand’s Kevin Dibley. However, Tayana hasn’t forgotten the little guys, with an upgrade to the Tayana 37 (shown here) in the pipeline too.
Beaumont has owned a Tayana 58 for eight years, providing direct feedback to this bluewater specialist builder, and he pointed out each new yacht undergoes a 360nm sea trial between Kaohsiung and Hong Kong, prior to delivery. That should iron out the bugs.
