Built during Tayana's renowned era of quality fiberglass construction, the Vancouver 42 represents a thoughtful approach to bluewater cruising design. This moderate-displacement cruiser emerged from a shipyard celebrated for producing robust, seaworthy vessels that have carried sailors safely across oceans worldwide. The Vancouver 42 showcases classic proportions with a comfortable beam that provides generous interior volume without sacrificing sailing performance. Her traditional lines reflect timeless nautical aesthetics while incorporating practical features essential for extended offshore passages. The boat's solid fiberglass construction and quality joinery work exemplify Tayana's reputation for building vessels that age gracefully and maintain their structural integrity over decades. Designed primarily for serious cruising sailors, this yacht excels in offshore conditions where reliability and comfort matter most. The spacious cockpit and well-protected helm position offer excellent visibility and security during challenging weather. Below decks, the thoughtfully arranged interior maximizes livability for extended voyages while maintaining the robust construction standards that made Tayana a respected name among cruising sailors. The Vancouver 42 appeals to experienced sailors seeking a proven platform for ambitious cruising adventures, particularly those planning extended passages or liveaboard lifestyles.
- Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.

- Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
- Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
- Included equipment varies widely. A boat with a full suite of electronics, dodger, and new standing rigging may command a large premium.
- Outliers are automatically excluded using statistical filtering to improve accuracy, but some bad data may remain.
