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. Produced primarily in the early to mid1980s, the Tatoosh 42 was conceived as a "performance cruiser," a design intended to offer more speed and agility than the heavydisplacement, fullkeel doubleenders like the Baba 40 that dominated Ta Shing's early production. By utilizing a contemporary underbody—featuring a fin keel and a large skeghung rudder—Perry provided the Tatoosh 42 with a distinct identity: a vessel that retains the offshore "bulletproof" build quality of a Taiwanbuilt yacht while delivering the pointing ability and responsiveness required for modern coastal and bluewater passage making.
