The Tayana 48 DS (Deck Saloon) is a bluewater cruising cutter built by Ta Yang Yacht Building of Taiwan and designed by Robert Perry, produced as a deck salon variant of the standard Tayana 48. The raised salon design incorporates larger windows and increased headroom in the main saloon while retaining the proven Perry hull geometry and offshore cruising capability of the base model. At nearly 48 feet with over 35,000 pounds of displacement and a ballast ratio of 33%, the 48 DS offers the heavy-displacement comfort and sea-kindliness characteristic of all Perry-designed Tayanas. She typically features a large forward master stateroom, separate crew or guest cabin aft, a well-organized galley, and a chart table positioned for easy communication with the helm — all in the traditional teak-and-mahogany interior finish for which Ta Yang was known.
