We present high resolution spectra of the Herbig star TY CrA in the Na I doublet region. The spectroscopic binary nature SB2 of this star, known to be the member of a close eclipsing binary system, which was tentatively proposed in a previous paper is here confirmed. The radial velocity curves of both components of the system are built as the function of phase. This allows us to derive directly for the first time the masses for the primary and the secondary, 2.8 +/- 0.2 solar mass and 1.5 +/- 0.1 solar mass respectively. Other parameters R*, L*, T* of both objects are derived. All these data are discussed, as well as the measured rotational velocity of the secondary (v sin i = 100 km/s).
