TARA is a rock-solid expedition yacht, easily owner-operated without the frills of today’s production vessels. Naval architecture was done by Ulf Rogeberg, noted as the original Deerfoot designer; he pioneered the use of a canoe-body shape as the most easily driven hull form. His sailing yacht designs carried relatively short, easily managed rigs yet outperformed larger yachts that required much more sail handling. TARA brings that concept into cruising under power with two relatively small (150 HP) diesels that provide a 9.5-knot cruising speed burning an astonishing 3.5 gallons per hour. At eight knots, TARA can cruise non-stop from the Caribbean to Maine. In the transition to ecologically conscious yachting, TARA is leading the pack.
TARA’s interior is bright and open, finished off in Herreshoff style with mahogany trim and white panels, Sisal carpets, large windows and white headliners. Headroom is generous throughout.
The hull and deck are foam-cored fiberglass, molded by Lyman-Morse, one of the finest composite shipyards in the US, painted with Awlgrip. TARA’s superstructure is a custom aluminum weldment that has been left natural. While there is no such thing as a maintenance-free vessel, TARA is very close to that ideal.
TARA’S arrangement plan includes five separate cabins. Owner’s quarters are aft and full beam with a centerline queen berth, ensuite head and shower. Forward are port and starboard cabins, each with upper/lower berths. These two cabins share one head compartment, which also serves as the day head. Common space amidship is given over to upper and lower salons. The upper salon is a bright open space with a full helm station, ship’s control panels and a raised dinette. The lower salon has a galley and L-shaped dining and lounge area down four steps. Further forward are two additional cabins, each with an ensuite head and shower.
Aft of the deckhouse is a comfortable cockpit with angled seating protected from the weather. The flybridge with the upper helm station offers excellent sightlines and could be enclosed and climate-controlled.
