About Electric Passage
<p><span style="background-color: transparent;">The Tayana Vancouver 42 has long held a special place among traditionalist, bluewater-minded sailors who value seaworthiness, carrying capacity, practical offshore layout, and enduring design integrity over passing trends. Designed by Robert Harris and respected for her comfortable motion, handsome lines, and serious cruising temperament, the model continues to be sought after by sailors who want a yacht with real offshore credibility and timeless character.</span> </p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">ELECTRIC PASSAGE stands apart even within that well-regarded company. This is the aft-cockpit version of the Tayana Vancouver 42, already a highly appealing configuration for sailors who appreciate the secure feel and traditional profile of a true offshore cruising yacht. What makes her exceptional is the level to which she has been upgraded, modernized, and reimagined. She retains the warmth and craftsmanship of a classic Taiwan-built cruiser, including the rich wood interior that gives the boat so much of her traditional appeal, while offering a systems package and onboard capability that place her in an entirely different category from the average vintage cruiser.</span> </p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">This is not a lightly refreshed classic with selective upgrades. ELECTRIC PASSAGE has undergone a deep and highly intentional modernization centered around a sophisticated 48VDC electrical architecture, 24 kWh lithium battery bank, substantial solar charging, custom 48V alternator charging, inverter generator, electric galley, high-efficiency three-zone air conditioning, watermaker, multiple refrigeration and freezer systems, modern communications and electronics, and substantial deck and structural work. The result is a yacht that preserves the soul of a renowned bluewater design while delivering a level of comfort, energy independence, and real-world liveaboard functionality that is extraordinarily rare in this class.</span> </p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">For the buyer looking for a true offshore cruiser with traditional lines, proven pedigree, and a refit standard that is genuinely uncommon, ELECTRIC PASSAGE represents a very rare opportunity. There is no other Tayana Vancouver 42 on the market configured like this, and it is difficult to imagine another being brought to this level anytime soon.</span> </p><p><br></p><p>KEY FEATURES: </p><ul><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Aft-cockpit Tayana Vancouver 42</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">48VDC Victron Energy power electronics system</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">24 kWh lithium battery bank</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Large solar array aft plus additional side-mounted solar panels</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Custom 48V 5.5kW alternator with custom bracket and Arco Zeus regulator</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">WhisperPower Piccolo 5 inverter generator with sound enclosure</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Generator used primarily in hybrid configuration to recharge the battery bank</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Perkins 4-108M diesel with external rebuild and repaint</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Victron autotransformer providing both 120V and 240V AC onboard</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Victron isolation transformer for shore power inlet</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Worldwide shore power capability with 120/240VAC and 50/60Hz compatibility</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Termodinamica VRV air conditioning with one central compressor and three zones</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Ability to cool the forward sleeping cabin independently at night</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">40 GPH watermaker mounted forward and running on 240V power</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">GN Espace OceanChef gimbaled electric cooker with induction cooktop and electric oven; no propane onboard</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Multiple refrigeration and freezer systems including front-opening refrigerator, large deep freezer, and chest freezer in the main saloon</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Craig Millar sails including mainsail, genoa, stackpack, staysail, and asymmetrical spinnaker</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Dyneema halyards</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Dyneema standing rigging</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Titanium chainplates</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Johnson turnbuckles</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Schaefer 3100 furler</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Continuous-line staysail furler</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">48VDC Maxwell vertical windlass</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Reconfigured anchoring system with chain locker moved aft</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Rocna Vulcan anchor with 260' of G8 chain</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Teak decks removed, deck recored, repainted, and reassembled with new hardware</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Deck hardware properly backed with FRP plates and new 316 stainless fasteners</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Newfound Metals opening portlights</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">New acrylic fixed portlights</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">B&G electronics and autopilot computer with Orca navigation</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Octopus hydraulic autopilot actuator</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Raymarine Axiom radar with gimbaled Scanstrut mast mount</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Starlink wired to run on 48VDC</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Peplink router with upgraded antennas</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Tecma Nano electric toilet</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Mini clothes washing machine</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Fully enclosed cockpit shade</span> </li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">4-man liferaft</span> </li></ul><p><br></p> <br> <i> Resolute Yachting is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel.
