The Panda 38, designed by the legendary naval architect Robert Perry and built by the master craftsmen at Ta Shing Yacht Building Ltd., is a quintessential example of the "golden age" of Taiwanese boat building. Launched in the late 1970s and produced through the mid1980s, the Panda 38 was conceived as a rugged, doubleended cutter intended for longdistance offshore passagemaking. It belongs to a prestigious lineage of Perrydesigned cruisers built at Ta Shing, sharing a design DNA with the Baba and Tashiba series. The Panda line—which also included the Panda 34 and the Panda 40—was eventually phased out as the yard moved toward the Tashiba brand, yet the 38 remains a highly soughtafter vessel on the secondary market for its balance of traditional aesthetics and robust seagoing capabilities. According to the Robert H. Perry Yacht Designers archives, these vessels were engineered to provide a safe, predictable motion in heavy weather, a hallmark of the designer's "traditional" period.
