The Tatoosh 51 represents the zenith of the collaboration between the legendary naval architect Robert Perry and the master craftsmen at Ta Shing Yacht Building Ltd. Introduced in the early 1980s as the flagship of the Tatoosh line, this vessel was conceived as a serious bluewater passage maker, prioritizing absolute seaworthiness and structural integrity over the lightweight racing trends of the era. While the more common Tatoosh 42 gained significant popularity, the 51foot variant offered a substantial increase in volume, tankage, and waterline length, allowing for higher hull speeds during extended ocean transits. Built in Tainan, Taiwan, the Tatoosh 51 benefits from the same rigorous construction standards found in Ta Shing’s other famous lines, such as the Mason and Norseman series, which are detailed on the Ta Shing Official History page.
