The Tayana 52 DS (Deck Saloon) is a bluewater cruising cutter built by Ta Yang Yacht Building of Taiwan, developed as a deck salon variant of the acclaimed Robert Perry-designed Tayana 52. The deck salon configuration adds a raised, windowed salon section that dramatically increases natural light below decks and gives the helmsman a better view of sail trim — a feature especially valued on long offshore passages. At 52 feet with nearly 38,500 pounds of displacement and a cutter rig carrying over 1,400 square feet of sail, the 52 DS is a capable heavy-displacement passagemaker with a comfortable motion in a seaway. Her interior is typically finished in teak and holly with a full-beam master stateroom forward, separate aft cabin, and a large L-shaped galley, making her a favorite for extended liveaboard cruising couples.
