Located in Southwest Florida, this 33-foot used 1987 Glander Tavana 33 is a great
sloop sailboat.
Head out confidently onto the
water with a shallow-draft 29hp
Yanmar 3YM30 engine on board. This sailboat is in very good condition and systems are working well. The Tavana 33 has lots of space for your
family and friends, and all your
boating gear. With ample room to sleep 4 comfortably, spend the night aboard your Glander sailboat at your favorite
water front spot.
Harold Glander designed and built this
boat in the
Florida Keys in Tavernier, Fl. His vision was a
shallow draft sailing vessel for sailing the shallow waters of the
Florida Keys and
Bahamas, with a center board to help her when sailing in deeper waters or crossing the
Gulf Stream. The design was based on a
boat he designed and built for himself in 1956 in the Herreshoff tradition. There were only 134 of these vessels built and now, here is your opportunity to add this adventure to your legacy!
This 1985 Glander Tavana 33 is perfect for
day sailing, coastal cruising and checking out the shallow waters of the Florida Keys and Bahamas. If you're looking to
cruise shallow water regions, the number of
anchorages available to those who choose a
shallow draft cruiser are far more numerous than those who choose big deep
draft vessels. We went through an
ICW to Gulf pass at 2.8 with the
centerboard up that EVERYONE said was impassable. Great
depth finding!!!
Equipped with a PRISTINE 2008
Yanmar 3YM30 diesel producing 29 hp, she'll
cruise at her
hull speed effortlessly. The 15 gal tapered
fuel tank was installed in 2008 and will provide enough
fuel to
motor all day if needed - but it's a great sailing boat, so you shouldn't need to
motor all day. Other upgrades in 2008 include new
muffler, new
electrical panel and there is a new
3 blade prop too.
Tiller
steering, with
Raymarine 2000 Tiller Pilot, keeps things simple onboard and eliminates costly
steering maintenance and
repairs when cruising
remote areas. Not to mention being able to feel how the boat is responding to the conditions.
Large
cockpit permits enough room for several adults to relax. The
cockpit table has two mounts, permitting it to be used in a number of different situations. The cockpit is protected with a
bimini that was new in 2009. The aft
deck has two access hatches to the lazarette. The taffrail has the
VHF antennae and a BBQ
grill mounted on it. There is a custom arch over the back
deck with
solar panels mounted on top.
This boat is set up for
single handed sailing with all lines leading aft to the cockpit. There are (2) Barlow winches for the
jib sheets and the
jib is mounted on a
Hood roller furling system. Setting and striking a
head sail has never been easier. Doyle stack pack and lazy jacks allows the main sail to be stowed in seconds. A self-tailing
Lewmar winch on the
cabin top handles all of your halyards at the cockpit. Even the
centerboard is raised and lowered from the cockpit. An
aluminum mast and
stainless steel standing
rigging completes the rig.
Navigating new waters is made easier when using the
Garmin Chart plotter, Ritchie
compass,
Raymarine Depth sounder and the Uniden
VHF radio w/wireless microphone.
The trunk
cabin has a low profile, adding to the sleek lines of this
classic boat. Nine opening
bronze port lights and a
hatch over the V-berth provides plenty of ventilation. There is a
wind scope for the V-berth
hatch. Two custom
teak bench seats on the forward cabin provide a good view and additional seating for guests or relaxing at
anchor in the harbor by yourself. A manual
anchor windlass is mounted on the foredeck. There are two Danforth anchors, one of which is a new
Fortress still-in-the-box-new!
The cabin is accessed through the large
companionway from the cockpit. Immediately to port and starboard are large settees that double as quarter berths. There is a centerline fold up table between the quarter berths. Aft of the starboard quarter berth is access to a large
storage area. Aft of the port quarter berth is
battery storage and access. There are (2) house
batteries and (1)
engine starting
battery. The
batteries are connected to an isolator switch and charged by
shower power through a 1500 watt inverter/charger, engine
alternator or
solar panels.
Engine access is between the quarter berths, under the cockpit. Access to the engine is good, making routine
maintenance a little less of a hassle. The
navigation electronics are mounted on a board with hinges, allowing the
electronics to be stowed out of the way when not in use, but visible from the cockpit when underway. This also protects them the elements - increasing the life span of these items.
The
galley consists of a small 110v fridge, a GE microwave and Cuisinart toaster
oven. A
single stainless steel sink has fresh water serviced by a manual foot
pump.
Moving forward from the main cabin, there is a head to port and a hanging locker to starboard. The head is currently equipped with a port-a-potty.
The V-berth is forward and has three opening
ports and the hatch with the available
wind scope.
If you're looking for the perfect shoal
draft sailboat that's set up for single handed sailing - this one should be placed on your short list of
boats to check out.
