The Norseman 400, designed by the prolific naval architect Robert Perry, represents a refined era of performance cruising from the mid1980s. Built by the renowned Ta Shing Yacht Building shipyard in Taiwan—a facility famed for producing highquality vessels such as the Mason and Tashiba lines—the 400 was conceived as a slightly more compact, more manageable alternative to its legendary larger sibling, the Norseman 447. While the 447 gained fame for its sheer offshore power, the Norseman 400 offers a more nimble profile, balancing a moderatedisplacement hull with a sophisticated underbody that reflects Perry’s "performance cruiser" philosophy. The vessel features a distinctive combination of a fine entry for punching through chop and a flatter exit to encourage speed under power or sail, making it a favorite for couples seeking a highquality bluewater platform without the logistical demands of a 45plusfoot yacht.
