The Panda 40 (also known as Baba 40 or Tashing Tashiba) is a true offshore classic: strong, safe, and comfortable. Designed by Bob Perry, she's built with a solid fiberglass hull, full keel, and cutter rig - trusted features that have carried sailors across every ocean.
The new owner will find that their boat has had all major repairs already taken care of and that all wiring and appliances have recently been installed. Hydrus has had great care taken in her seaworthiness and it would be perfectly reasonable to take her on a long voyage in her present state.
Having just returned from the Great Barrier Reef, Hydrus is well equipped and maintained. She was extensively prepared for international travel yet due to unforeseen family circumstances this trip couldn't take place to its full extent. We will be sad to see her go. Hydrus is a boat ready to sail for new adventures - whether that's coastal cruising, island hopping, or crossing oceans.
Below deck, you'll find warm teak joinery, a practical galley, generous storage, and comfortable cabins that make long passages and life aboard a pleasure.
We are more than happy answer any questions
Please call (John) or (Alison)
