The Tayana Vancouver 42 CC is the center cockpit variant of the classic Robert Perry-designed Vancouver 42, built by Ta Yang Yacht Building of Taiwan from the early 1980s through the early 1990s. Of the approximately 200 Vancouver 42s constructed, around 70 were built to the center cockpit configuration — the most prized layout among bluewater cruisers for the separate aft stateroom it creates below the cockpit, providing genuine privacy for offshore couples. At 41 feet 9 inches with nearly 30,000 pounds of displacement and a ballast ratio over 40%, the CC variant shares the same powerful heavy-displacement hull as the aft cockpit model but sacrifices some cockpit size for that private stern cabin. Construction is solid fiberglass forward with vinylester resin used after 1992, and teak woodblock coring on the decks, giving her long-term structural integrity prized by bluewater sailors.
