BOB PERRY Yachts Talks Design and Refit Strategies

What questions would you ask the legendary yacht designer, “The Maestro” Robert Perry? I sat down with Bob for a wide ranging discussion about my refit plans, some of his design philosophies, and some other stuff too. Bob Perry Yachts has, for more than 40 years, been synonymous with world class cruising sailboats. Many of his designs have forever shaped the way that sailboats are designed and built. From the radically unconventional (at the time) and incredibly capable Valiant 40, to the incredibly successful Tayana 37, and onto Bob’s beautifully crafted custom builds, Bob Perry’s boats are all regarded as some of the very best that money can buy. Bob offers some great services to those looking to acquire the boat of their dreams, or refit one that they already have. His consultation business is very active and he has helped many sailors in that regard.
