Designed by renowned naval architect Robert Perry and built by Taiwan's respected Ta Shing Yacht Building starting in 1986, this 36-footer represents classic blue-water cruising philosophy wrapped in quality fiberglass construction. Perry's design expertise shines through in the boat's traditional long keel configuration and cutter rig, creating a vessel that prioritizes seaworthiness and comfort over speed. The impressive comfort ratio of 36.82 immediately signals this boat's cruising pedigree, while the conservative capsize screening formula of 1.72 underscores its offshore capabilities. With substantial displacement of 20,350 pounds and generous ballast of 8,740 pounds, the design offers the stability and sea-kindly motion that long-distance cruisers demand. The long keel provides excellent directional stability and protects the propeller and rudder, though it sacrifices some maneuverability in tight quarters. Ta Shing's reputation for solid construction quality makes these boats particularly appealing to serious cruisers. The cutter rig configuration provides excellent sail handling options and storm versatility, while the moderate sail area-to-displacement ratio suggests comfortable sailing without being overpowered. This is fundamentally a passage-maker built for couples or small crews planning extended coastal or offshore adventures, prioritizing comfort and safety over racing performance.
