Dan has done good job of covering the Tayana.. A good friend of mine (ret.
Navy Capt.) has been cruising in a Tayana, with his wife in Panama for the
past 10+ years (I guess you could say that 10 year qualify their Tayana as
their home).

They have been very happy with it..

As far as single handing, I think it as well suited as any of that size and
rig.. It all depends on the skills and abilities of the skipper..
