'Tarilian' is our boat, a Trader 535 Signature. She is a 53.5ft (16.3m) aft cabin/aft deck motor cruiser with a traditional semi-displacement hull.

I bought her used, and have been updating her for our planned cruising in the Mediterranean.

Here are a few images to give you an impression. For those interested in brochure shots, this model is still offered under the Montefino T535 brand.

Tarilian is being launched after her long storage, May 2010. Yes, she can do with a good clean and polish....
