The Baba 30 is widely regarded as a quintessential example of the "pocket cruiser," a stout and sea-kindly double-ender designed by Robert Perry and built by the renowned Ta Shing Yacht Building Company in Taiwan. Introduced in 1978, the model was the result of a collaboration between Perry and Bob Berg of Flying Dutchman International, who sought to create a traditional, offshore-capable yacht that improved upon the performance of contemporaries like the Westsail 32. According to Sailing Magazine, the boat’s name originated from the Taiwanese workers' pronunciation of "Bob Berg," which evolved into "Ba-Ba." Over its seven-year production run ending in 1985, approximately 230 hulls were produced, establishing Ta Shing as a premier builder of high-quality cruising yachts.
