Page 8: Chapter I: Introduction
8 chapter i: introduction congratulations on your selection of a tayana vancouver 42 cruising yacht. There is no better yacht in her size on the market. With care and proper maintenance she will not only prove to be an excellent investment, but she will take you cruising anywhere in the world safely...

10 c. Materials a few words about materials are called for because of the many questions people ask about the quality of the metals, woods and plastics used in far east built yachts. In the early years of their building, there were some building challenges that had to be overcome. But ta yang overca...

32 chapter iv: operating procedures a. Sailing the tayana vancouver 42 most people have learned to sail on sloops, and they don't realize that sailing a cutter is somewhat different. Let's look at how one sets the sails on the tayana 42 cutter. As the sails fill and you are on or near the proper cou...

33 b. Tuning the spars and rigging tuning is probably the most difficult yet perhaps a more enjoyable part of sailing. Remember, just as a car runs badly with a poorly tuned engine, your yacht will never perform to her potential unless you learn to tune her rigging and spars. Forget all of those rul...
Page 34
34 once your yacht has been tuned close to the wind and on a few reaches, you are pretty well finished. You will find that she goes well down wind and should have an acceptable helm on all points of sail. As you gain experience, you will find yourself doing more and more fine tuning. It will pay off...

36 e. Fuel system tankage consists of two 60-gallon carbon steel tanks located beneath the cabin sole just aft of the water tanks. On some models, up to 3 tanks may be installed to accommodate design changes in the interior. Valves are located above the port tank to control the fuel supply to the en...

40 f. Electrical system you will operate two different electrical systems on your tayana 42 – a direct current (dc) system which is the primary electrical system and an alternating current system (ac) which is used primarily at a dock. Neither of the systems is difficult to use, but certain importan...

53 blisters are a continuing topic with respect to fiberglass hulls. Whether or not they appear depends on a myriad of variables. But they can and will develop blisters if they remain in the water too long. If they do, deal with them early. One of the vinylester epoxy bottom jobs being performed in ...

There are several products on the market that make it possible to keep the beautiful brown of teak without a great deal of heavy labor. Cleaners are strong and corrosive and must be used...

55 with natural wood which you wish to keep light, it is best to finish the teak with a light wax. The process is simple. The wood should be thoroughly cleaned – start with a vacuum cleaner to remove all of the dust and loose dirt; then use a damp cloth with no soap; follow this with a solvent wash ...

56 if damage to finished does occur, one is not quite so pressed to get a repair done because further deterioration is not likely. The aluminum spars with a tayana 42 may be finished either by anodizing or painting. Anodizing is a process by which a protective coating is formed that is superior to p...

This winding makes the cable stiff and strong, but it would be unsatisfactory if it were required to run through blocks or go around sharp corners. Most tayana 42s are delivered with swaged fittings. Swaging is a process that actually sq...

58 the dirt is off, rinse with a hose and be sure to get the salt off at the same time. As a matter of fact, it isn’t a bad idea to pull your sails up at the dock a few times a year and rinse them off with fresh water. Once in a while you may find some mildew on your sails. This can be cleaned off b...

59 tayana 42s come with either barlow, barient or lewmar winches. You will find diagrams and exploded views of both of these in the package of materials that came with the yacht. If your yacht does not have these owners pamphlets, check with another owner and make copies. 6. Blocks your yacht may ha...

61 during the first fifty hours of operation, the engine should not be run at maximum rpm. Run the engine at a variety of rpms, but do not let it idle for extended periods. At fifty hours, the following service should be performed. (a) change engine oil and filter. (b) tighten cylinder head nuts in ...

This is important because the cutlass is water lubricated. A cutlass bearing should last several years. When the bearing is new, the shaft will...

65 remember, battery electrolyte is sulfuric acid which is very corrosive. It will eat into your skin, wood, cloth, and some metals. Don’t neglect a spill. If it gets on your skin, wash it off immediately with soap and water. One other battery maintenance point is the two poles. Make sure connection...

67 sacrificial zincs are or should be bolted onto each side of your keel just forward of the shaft and or on your rudder. These rectangular zincs are unique and referred to as “tayana” or “taiwan” zincs. West marine and other major boat stores sell this type of zinc. A 1-1/4 inch donut zinc is also ...

68 it might be well to note here that there may be zincs in the cooling system of your engine. (many yanmar’s do not, but the yanmar 3mq30 does.) also some refrigeration systems also have zincs in their cooling systems. These also must be checked and replaced as they are sacrificed. Refer to the eng...

Both of these pumps should be checked every day that the yacht is sailed. The electrical bilge pump is by par and is located in the same compartment as the fresh water pump....
