Up for sale is this well-kept example of a legendary world cruiser, the Bob Perry-designed Baba 35. These vessels were built between 1979 and 1986 in the renowned Ta Shing Yard in Taiwan and are known to have some of the best craftsmanship and joinery work done anywhere in the world at the time. In all, 75 Baba 35's were built, with hull numbers ranging from 002 to 126, with there being a gap between hull numbers 51 and 100. As hull number 126, we believe this Baba 35 to be the last one ever built.
