The Tayana 58DS is the latest evolution the legendary Tayana 55. For the cruising sailor who wants a proven hull and the sleek contemporary styling of a raised house design, with all of it's attributes, the T58DS is the yacht of choice. (It is important to fully understand the instant popularity of Ta Yang's new T58DS, that you take a moment to read the introduction to the Tayana 55.) While working with Architect and Yacht Designer Mr. Robb Ladd in the winter of 1999 to develop the Tayana 48DS Series, Imagine Yachts contracted Mr. Ladd to work in concert with the designers at Ta Yang to completely redesign the raised house of the 58 Deck Salon. The result is simply beautiful. (The first hull of it's type will arrive in Annapolis, Maryland in July of 2000. Please come view it at the Newport and Annapolis Boat Shows in the fall of 2000.) The added light, and particularly the gained

visibility of your anchorage surroundings while seated in the main salon are some of the advantages of a raised house vessel. Extra large tankage for both fuel and water is another gained feature of the raised sole in the Deck Salon series. As for the weather, the extra large center cockpit is extremely dry and comfortable. All of the controls are led to, and can be handled from the cockpit. In summary, may we say this… The Tayana 58DS is beautiful cruising yacht with very respectable performance characteristics. It incorporates the latest technologies in hardware and equipment. The custom interior joinery work of Ta Yang is legendary.
