Overview

About this vessel

1978 Tayana 37 Cutter - "Freja"

Extensively Refit | Offshore Ready | Proven Liveaboard Cruiser

"Freja" is an exceptionally refit and beautifully maintained Tayana 37 Cutter, offered for sale by her knowledgeable owner after eight years of care, sailing, and steady improvement. Over half that time was spent living aboard and voyaging up and down the West Coast. The owner spared no expense in rebuilding and upgrading this vessel from stem to stern, drawing on the wisdom of the great bluewater sailors - Pardey, Moitessier, Bob Griffith - and the local craftspeople who know these boats best.

Freja represents the ideal Tayana 37: strong, seaworthy, simple to maintain, and elegantly outfitted for self-reliant cruising. With a comprehensive refit completed between 2016 - 2023, she is a turnkey cutter ready for her next ocean passage.

The owner has lived aboard Freja for four years and sailed her extensively along the coast. Every system has been renewed with an emphasis on durability, simplicity, and ocean readiness. All known Tayana 37 issues have been addressed - chainplates, fuel tank, scuppers, and deck core among them. Freja is a sailor's boat, a home, and a dream - ready to carry her next crew anywhere in the world.
