The quick verdict
The Tayana 37 is a sturdy, Taiwan-built full-keel cruiser with a strong offshore reputation, though it is heavy, slow in light air and prone to weather helm. Owners report hull-to-deck leaks on some boats, so a full survey with haul-out and a check of the deck joint, rigging and tanks is essential. Before buying, join the owners group and read its back newsletters.
Strong reputation as an offshore boat; Good quality glasswork; Good performance on all points under sail; Substantial bow and stern pulpits and high lifelines
All-teak interior can feel dark; Small cockpit compared with modern boats; Not a stiff boat; initially tender; Quite heavy by today's standards; Hull-to-deck joint has leaked on some boats; Substantial weather helm; sluggish in light air; Forward iron tank causes bow-down trim
