The Boat

Kaizen is a 1985 Tayana Vancouver 42, Robert Harris designed her. Cruising World wrote an article that speaks to her general characteristics. Bluewaterboats also has a brief article about her.

As for our Kaizen, we have found her very seaworthy and an absolute pleasure to sail. This page is a work in progress, I will be adding more info as I go. I have added a few photos and some stats below.
