The Passport 40, designed by the legendary Robert Perry and introduced in 1980, is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of the "Golden Age" of Taiwanese boatbuilding. Conceived during a period when the industry was shifting from heavy, full-keeled traditionalists to more performance-oriented cruising hulls, the Passport 40 struck a definitive balance between offshore ruggedness and surprising agility. Built primarily at the King Dragon yard in Taiwan, the vessel was intended for couples seeking a blue-water capable home that could be handled without a professional crew. Its aesthetic—characterized by a low profile, subtle spring in the sheer line, and a traditional transom—belies a modern underwater geometry that helped redefine the expectations of a 40-foot cruising yacht.
