The Panda 31 is a robust, bluewater capable "pocket cruiser" designed by the legendary naval architect Robert H. Perry. Emerging from the golden era of Taiwanese yacht building in the early 1980s, the Panda 31 was commissioned by the Panda Yacht Company and built by the worldrenowned Ta Shing Yacht Service. As a smaller sibling to the highly regarded Panda 34, 38, and 40, the 31footer was engineered for sailors who prioritized offshore structural integrity and traditional aesthetics over raw racing speed. Characterized by its canoe stern, heavy displacement, and exquisite "furnituregrade" teak joinery, the Panda 31 remains a soughtafter vessel for solo circumnavigators and couples seeking a manageable, seakindly platform. While often confused with the Baba 30 or the Tashiba 31, the Panda 31 represents a specific evolutionary step in Perry’s doubleender lineage, balancing a traditional hull form with more modern foils than its predecessors.
