The Tatoosh 42 represents a sophisticated chapter in the collaboration between the legendary naval architect Robert Perry and the master craftsmen at Ta Shing Yacht Building Ltd. Commissioned in the early 1980s by the Tatoosh Marine group based in Seattle, this model was conceived as a "performance cruiser"—a departure from the heavydisplacement, fullkeeled traditionalists like the Baba or Tashiba series that defined much of Ta Shing’s early output. While it retains the exquisite teak joinery and robust scantlings synonymous with the Taiwanese yard, the Tatoosh 42 features a more contemporary underbody and a sleek, reversetransom profile. Built between 1981 and roughly 1988, it remains a soughtafter vessel for offshore sailors who demand a balance between the aesthetic of a classic yacht and the agility of a modern hull form. The design was part of a focused range that also included the larger, equally prestigious Tatoosh 51.
