Tashiba 31
Description
The Tashiba 31 (also known as Ta Shing Tashiba 31) is a 31-foot heavy-displacement bluewater cutter designed by Robert Perry and built in fiberglass by Ta Shing Yacht Building Ltd. in Taiwan between 1986 and 1988. Only about 25 units were produced, making it a relatively rare but highly regarded small ocean cruiser. It belongs to Perry's series of full/long-keel cruising designs (alongside the Baba 30/35/40 and Tashiba 36), emphasizing seakindliness, comfort, and offshore capability over light-air speed or racing performance. The hull features a long keel (sometimes described as full keel with canoe stern), moderate beam, and a conservative, rugged form that provides a gentle motion and excellent tracking on passages. Owners and Perry himself note it sails well for its type—better than some earlier Baba models due to hull refinements—while prioritizing safety and liveaboard comfort in heavy weather.
