La Buena Vida epitomizes what a cruiser should have: Excellent sea-kindly sailing character, efficient work spaces, comfortable accommodations, and uber-generous storage possibilities. She sleeps up to 6 people, two in the master stateroom forward, two in the main salon and two in the port aft guest quarters. Aft of the main salon to starboard is the spacious galley that will delight the gourmet cook while offering direct access to the cockpit and on watch crew.

Starboard settee is “L” shaped with drawers under, locker storage outboard, 2 lockers over separated by a mirrored hullside locker. The forward bulkhead is graced with a Force 10 propane heater.

Additional Features/Broker's Comments
La Buena Vida has seen only the best of care by her owners as they have lived aboard full time for the last six years. She has just returned from the Bahamas and put on the hard for your review. Her owners invite your most thorough inspection and hope to find a buyer that will continue to treat their "baby" well. Please call for a "no nonsense" discussion of La Buena Vida. As a past Tayana owner I can easily explain why La Buena Vida represents a superb lasting value.
- Yanmar engine replaced in 1996 due to a crankcase failure
- Manual in cockpit
- Complete spares inventory for a year in the Caribbean
- Electrical systems enable the boat to sit at anchor for as much as 10 days w/ refrigeration running and no charging needed other than solar and wind gen.
