1987 Tayana Mariner 36

Sandpiper is a true blue water sailboat, designed for comfort and capability whether you’re cruising the coast or heading offshore. She stands out with a layout rarely seen on boats of her size. Forward, you’ll find a very large forepeak salon/dinette, offering exceptional space and versatility. The dinette comfortably seats up to seven people for meals or socializing and converts easily into a generous double berth, perfect for guests or extended cruising.

Amidships to starboard is a well-equipped galley, featuring a three-burner stove with oven, refrigerator, double sinks, and plenty of storage—ideal for preparing meals underway or at anchor. Across from the galley is the head compartment, and just aft is the private master cabin, which includes a custom innerspring mattress and private head access (note: sliding door is missing).

Aft to starboard, you’ll find the navigation station, conveniently located at the head of the guest quarter berth, providing an efficient space for chart work and electronics.

On deck, Sandpiper features a large cockpit over eight feet long, with a footwell and taffrail. A raised helm seat offers excellent visibility over the cabin top, making sailing and docking easier and safer.

• New dodger, bimini, and full enclosure for excellent protection and comfort in all weather
