29.75' Ta Shing Baba 30

Ta SHING BABA 30
NIGHTWINDS has spent nearly all of her life in freshwater, and received meticulous care. One of the last of these bluewater cruisers built in 1985, she is a classic and in turnkey condition.
BABA 30s were built between 1978 and 1985, NIGHTWINDS, hull #240, is one of the last builds with a cutter rig, double shrouds, teak deck and a Yanmar diesel. Built in the Ta Shing yard, alongside Mason, Tashiba and Taswell yachts, utilizing the best construction techniques available at the time. Robert Perry designed them to provide a dry ride when going to weather and excellent tracking with a full keel and cutaway forefoot.
