2005 Tiara Yachts 2900 Open9m

The hull of the Tiara 2900 Open is designed with prop pockets to lessen shaft and running angles for lower bow height while cruising. Ax-head rudders allow for better handling and control. Sound levels are modest thanks to insulation in the engine room and a muffler system that includes side exhausts. Construction features include a vinylester barrier coat, solid-glass bottom, knitted biaxial cloth and Coremat in the hullsides, and end-grain balsa in the decks. For additional protection against alignment problems, the engines are mounted with solid-brass rods that pass through the stringers horizontally. The cabin is equipped with a bifold door at the companionway for easy entry. The aft back cushion on the dinette lifts and latches onto the overhead with a nylon strap to expose open space below the helm station, resulting in a double berth that stretches six feet, four inches. The forward berth is also a double thanks to a fold-up drop section. The head is designed with a curved door to maximize interior space. The galley has dual-voltage refrigerator, single-burner electric cooktop, and a molded sink with pressure freshwater system. In the cockpit, the helm console tilts aft, while the gray fiberglass dash minimizes glare on the clustered VDO gauges. Back-to-back seats give the helmsman a clear view through the windshield, designed with a thick band of poly trim along the top of the windshield frame to turn back the occasional spray. The cockpit has optional fish wells and a walk-through transom door.

Comfortable cruiser that is ideal for 2 and able to handle 4 in a pinch. Offset double berth forward with galley and head along port side and dinette on starboard side.  The galley features a Wallas diesel fired single burner stove that doubles as a cabin heater when the lid is closed, dual voltage fridge and sink with hot/cold pressurized water system.  

The head is just aft of the galley to port and includes a new  electric marine toilet, sink with vanity and integral shower system.  

The dinette to starboard seats 4 and converts to a double berth when necessary.  Custom teak and holly floors throughout. 

Up a few steps to the cockpit,... the helm station is to starboard with companion seat to port.  There are aft facing seats on both sides.  The aft cockpit is down a step and offers an open fishing or entertaining area.  There is a fold-down seat across the transom as well as a transom door providing access to the swim grid.
