Hull And Construction

Built by the renowned Ta Yang Yacht Building Co. in Taiwan—a yard famous for superior craftsmanship—REVERIE represents the pinnacle of 90s heavy-duty construction. Designed by the legendary Robert Perry, this vessel was engineered to provide unparalleled safety, stiffness, and comfort for extended offshore passages. Key Hull & Structural Features:

Hand-Laminated Fiberglass: Hull constructed using a superior, time-tested hand-lamination process featuring high-quality mat and woven rovings.
PVC Foam Cored Construction: Uniquely designed with PVC foam-cored hull construction, providing exceptional insulation, soundproofing, and significantly increased stiffness-to-weight ratio compared to solid fiberglass.
Isophthalic Resin/Gelcoat: Built for longevity, the layup utilizes isophthalic resins and isophthalic gelcoat on all exterior fiberglass surfaces to ensure maximum osmosis protection. REVERIE was gel-coated in Harbor Blue during the 2022-2024 refit. The deck non-skid was removed and replaced with Tuff Coat non-skid. The deck was gelcoated.
Massive Structural Matrix: A robust, interlocking matrix of longitudinal and transverse, foam-cored stringers is integrated into the lower hull, ensuring maximum stiffness to handle heavy seas.
Keel/Rudder Design: Features a performance-oriented, modified fin keel with internal iron ballast glassed in for absolute security, paired with a skeg-mounted rudder for superior tracking and protection.

Deck & Assembly:

Strength & Durability: The deck utilizes high-end grain balsa (or synthetic alternatives in later 90s models) for strength, with heavy-duty reinforcements in all hardware areas, which are through-bolted using stainless steel backing plates.
No Molded Liners: Unlike modern production boats, this Tayana features a traditional "no liner" build, allowing for superior access to hull fasteners and greater structural rigidity.
Solid Teak Cap Rail: A classic touch, the teak cap rail provides a robust sheerline finish.

REVERIE offers a rare combination of seaworthiness and comfort. The structural integrity is designed to feel "bombproof," providing peace of mind for its next owner. This is a true cruiser's cruiser, built in an era where strength was paramount.
