Panda 38 368

The respected Ta Shing Yard in Taiwan built the Panda 38 in the 1980s for Bob Berg and the Quicksilver Corporation. It was designed to be a lighter, faster, and smaller sibling to the Panda 40 while retaining the solid offshore capability for which Berg’s boats were known.

Designer Gary Grant gave the Panda 38 traditional lines that are accentuated by generous applications of teak used on the wide caprail, bronze-capped rubrail, grabrails, and cockpit coaming. Most of the boats were cutter rigged as a factory option and were fitted with a generous bowsprit. A vented teak platform attached to the bowsprit accommodates dual bronze anchor rollers.

Ta Shing’s interior teak joinery and craftsmanship is legendary. Aboard our Panda 38, Restless, we feel as though we live in a fine piece of furniture. The bulkheads are vertical teak staving; the overhead, between the laminated beams, is made of removable panels of laminate or spruce staving; locker doors are louvered teak. A teak grate at the foot of the companionway drains through a pan into the bilge.

The roomy and seaworthy U-shaped galley is to port of the companionway. On the starboard side, the forward-facing navigation station has adequate room for instrumentation and ample space in which to work. In some boats, the layout of galley and nav station was reversed.

The main saloon provides a generous area for living and entertaining, with a settee/sea berth to port and, to starboard, a U-shaped dinette that seats four comfortably. The master stateroom, in the bow, has a king-size V-berth. Aft of it, on the starboard side, the head has a marble countertop and a separate shower. Aft of the navigation station is a quarter berth.

Twelve old-school bronze opening ports, four cowl vents on teak dorade boxes, a forward-opening teak hatch in the V-berth, and an elegant teak butterfly hatch over the main cabin provide excellent airflow throughout the interior.

While the standard engine was the Universal 40-hp. diesel, some boats, including ours, have a Universal 50. The V-drive transmission leaks notoriously and has been replaced on many boats. Access to the engine area under the cockpit is outstanding.

Generous tankage permits extended cruising: A black-iron tank under the saloon sole carries 75 gallons of diesel, and two stainless-steel tanks under the settees hold 140 gallons of water between them.

The Panda 38’s teak decks are laid on top of a fiberglass sandwich. When we removed hardware to recaulk the deck, we found that the deck core is made of individual 2-inch balsa squares with resin barriers between them, which limits core damage when a leak occurs.

A moderate performer under sail, the P38 goes to weather pretty well even in light air. The boat will turn in 150 miles in 24 hours with 10 knots or more forward of the beam, but if it’s aft of the beam, the Panda needs more wind to perform in any significant sea state. The more wind, the more the 38 likes it. The boat has a sea-kindly motion and modest weather helm. The bathtub cockpit is rather small. We feel tucked in and safe when passagemaking, but it seats only four to six people comfortably at anchor.

Our Panda 38 has proven to be a strong and solid sailboat and a comfortable home. Ta Shing built 29 of them during the early 1980s. They’re rare; expect asking prices between $100,000 and $125,000, depending on equipment and whether the abundant teak is in a gray “natural state” or in show condition.

Sailboat Guide

Panda 38 is a 40 ′ 7 ″ / 12.4 m monohull sailboat designed by Gary Grant and built by Ta Shing Yacht Building Ltd. starting in 1982.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
LOA: Length overall in feet
Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

From BlueWaterBoats.org :

The Panda 38, introduced in 1982, comes from a whole family of Scandinavian styled cruisers developed by Bob Berg in the mid-1970s through to the mid-1980s which included the popular Baba 30 , 35 and 40 designs from Bob Perry . The boat was originally conceived as a smaller and lighter alternative to the Panda 40 (aka Baba 40). Like other boats from Berg, the Panda 38 was built by Ta Shing which has been generally considered the best boatyard in Taiwan, and the stunning interiors reflect this.

The Panda 38 has a reputation for sea-kindly motion, easy handling, and brisk performance. Since its introduction, only 29 have been built so they are quite rare to find on the market, and like all boats from the Bob Berg / Ta Shing duo, they have enjoyed an avid fan base.

Delving into the history of the Panda 38 we need to step back to 1976, the year that brought the world the Baba 30. The little boat was the brainchild of Berg who knitted together the design talents of Bob Perry with his new discovery, a small boatyard called Shing Sheng. The Baba 30 reinforced to the American public the kind of boat that could be built in Taiwan. It was a salty full keeled cruiser that packed an incredibly livable interior into 30 feet. Brimming with quality, the boat helped the yard (now operating out of purpose-built facilities under the name Ta Shing) in the direction of becoming Taiwan’s premier boatyard.

The Baba 30 led to the 35, and culminated in the fast and luxurious full-keeled Baba 40, a boat that had its lines derived from the now legendary Valiant 40. After a naming rights kerfuffle the Baba 40 became the Panda 40. Roughly the same time, in 1981, Bob Berg was looking for a smaller and lighter alternative. As Berg puts it:

“…the market demanded a smaller and lighter weight boat with a different stern than the Baba 40. I envisioned a stern similar to the James W. Hart , a catboat that Bill Garden designed with an old-time extended counter stern. This type of stern allowed for a larger cockpit.”

For the design he commissioned Gary Grant who had prior experience with this style of boat having worked in the Perry design office. It was to be his first commission as an independent designer. He set about tweaking the design formula to maximize waterline length, reducing wetted surface area and reducing displacement.

The boat was of course built by Ta Shing and was introduced in the latter part of 1982. Though most of the records were shredded in 1992, Berg says the records indicate at least 29 boats were built. Most were sold into the Pacific North West. Interestingly, the first Panda 38 off the production line was White Bear , Berg’s own boat, the name being the literal Chinese translation of Panda Bear.

Configuration & Layout

The Panda 38 is a Scandinavian style cruiser like Berg’s previous boats, there’s a cutter rig (though many owners like to sail their boat as sloops with a removable inner stay), a three foot bowsprit, and a flat bottomed full keel. And like the prior boats that were designed by Perry (Baba 30, 35, 40) , Grant follows the same formula by cutting away the keel’s forefoot and firming up the turn of the bilge to reduce drag. The hull’s canoe underbody remains flat well aft to improve downwind performance. To make the boat easy to short hand, Grant reduced the sail area which led to a significant reduction in displacement. The Panda 38 weighs in at a full 10,000 lbs less than the Panda 40.

Visually, perhaps the most striking difference from prior boats has been the departure from the canoe stern in favor of a transom. Berg says “ I decided to come out with a boat with a different stern design because I felt that not every sailor wanted a double-ender “. Regardless, the transom usefully increases the usable deck space and aids the waterline length slightly.

The bathtub-like cockpit is suitably small for bluewater passage-making, but seats only four to six people comfortably at anchor.

Below deck, some of the true quality of the boat comes to light. The sheer quantity and quality of the teak joinery work is striking and utilization of space is impeccable. Berg was well known to work over every fine detail at the Ta Shing factory, looking for clever ways to use every nook and cranny.

There’s a huge well designed galley with generous dry storage areas. The boats came with the option of the galley port or starboard. With the port located galley, to starboard was placed the navigation station with the navigator’s seat formed by part of the seagoing quarter berth which runs further aft. In the starboard located galley, to port was placed a generous wet-locker space with a reverse facing navigation station further forward utilizing the port settee as a seat.

The sole below the companionway is sensibly made from teak grating to allow drainage while changing out of wet weather gear. Access to the engine behind the companionway stairs is excellent.

In the main salon are settee berths port and starboard, there’s plenty of space for living and entertaining around a U-shaped dinette seating four in comfort. Above is an elegant teak butterfly hatch offering good ventilation. Further forward to starboard is the head with separate shower. At the very front, most boats have a stateroom consisting of a queen sized berth though a few boats were optionally fitted with V-berths.

Construction

The Panda 38’s hull is constructed in hand laid fiberglass, while the decks share similar treatment with a coring of end grain balsa broken into two inch squares with resin barriers to limit potential for rot damage from leaks. Ballast consists of 6,600 pounds of iron cast in a single piece and sealed and glassed over.

The bulkheads consist of vertical teak staving, while overhead, between the laminated beams are removable sheet laminate or spruce staving. In efforts to reduce condensation, the hull’s interior is lined with polyurethane foam in the living areas.

The Panda 38 is a good performer under sail, she is sea-kindly and is known to excel to weather regardless of light air. In fact owners report 150 mile days with only ten knots of wind in a close reach, more wind is required when downwind in any significant sea state. We hear the overall boat speed of the Panda 38 is close to that of the impressive Baba 40.

In terms of balance, the boat exhibits a slight weather helm with a particularly good rudder response (aiding close quarter manoeuvring).

Buyers Notes

Overall the Panda 38 has proven to be strong and solid. Other than the original v-drive transmission leaking often, few weaknesses have been identified through the years.

It’s recommended prospective buyers contact the active community of owners on the Baba/Panda/Tashiba Yahoo Group for further research. They’re rare to find on the market and as of 2010 given the few boats that have been listed, it is estimated the asking price for Panda 38s is in the range of $100k – $160k USD.

SOLD !! — 38′ Ta Shing “Panda” 1984 – Excellent ! – $149,500

One of just twenty-nine ‘Panda’ hulls completed in the famed Ta Shing yard, the inventory onboard “Restless” is very extensive and complete for your offshore sailing adventures to come. The boat has been exceptionally well maintained over the years, and now she’s fully ready to go ‘round again.

We installed a brand new Beta 38 diesel this past August and she’s performing just as expected, with good economical cruising speed of 6.5 kts. while under power during our recent trip from Anacortes to Seattle.

Her brightwork has been refinished in the warm weather over the past two summers and we have thoroughly checked and operated her systems top to bottom.

Numerous small repairs have been completed to bring ‘Restless’ to her very best condition including new Lexan panels for the hard dodger windscreen. She’s been well cleaned including her myriad custom canvas covers. The comfortable foam Queen-sized mattress in the forward cabin was sent out for professional cleaning last week.

The hull was surveyed and zincs replaced while ‘Restless’ was hauled for engine installation in August. There were no structural concerns indicated and the bottom paint is in good shape. That report will be made available in the process of completing a sale, thus saving her new owners an additional haul out expense.

Please take some time to review all of the details listed within.

If you’ve got that dream – we’ve got that boat.

Panda 38′

“Teak and bronze finery belie the Panda 38’s solid cruising capabilities.”

The Panda 38 is built like a piece of fine furniture, and the boat’s sea-kindly motion will take care of you in a blow offshore.

A moderate performer under sail, the P38 goes to weather pretty well even in light air. The boat will turn in 150 miles in 24 hours with 10 knots or more forward of the beam, but if it’s aft of the beam, the Panda needs more wind to perform in any significant sea state. The more wind, the more the 38 likes it. The boat has a sea-kindly motion and modest weather helm. The bathtub cockpit is rather small. We feel tucked in and safe when passage-making, but it seats only four to six people comfortably at anchor.

For more information, visit the Baba-Panda-Tashiba owners website ( www.groups.yahoo.com/group/baba-l ).

Mary Brandon “Brandy” Fox and her husband, Mark, sailed their Panda 38, “Restless”, from Seattle to Patagonia via California, Mexico, Ecuador, Easter Island, and Chile.

~ ~ Historical and Performance Notes; Authored by the Staff of BluewaterBoats.org ~ ~

[ Original Publication: https://sailboat.guide/ta-shing/panda-38 ]

The Panda 38 is a 40′ 7″ monohull sailboat designed by Gary Grant and built by Ta Shing Yacht Building Ltd. starting in 1982.

“… the market demanded a smaller and lighter weight boat with a different stern than the Baba 40. I envisioned a stern similar to the ‘James W. Hart’, a catboat that Bill Garden designed with an old-time extended counter stern. This type of stern allowed for a larger cockpit.”

The boat was of course built by Ta Shing and was introduced in the latter part of 1982. Though most of the records were shredded in 1992, Berg says the records indicate at least 29 boats were built. Most were sold into the Pacific North West. Interestingly, the first Panda 38 off the production line was White Bear, Berg’s own boat, the name being the literal Chinese translation of Panda Bear.

Configuration & Layout

Visually, perhaps the most striking difference from prior boats has been the departure from the canoe stern in favor of a transom. Berg says “I decided to come out with a boat with a different stern design because I felt that not every sailor wanted a double-ender“. Regardless, the transom usefully increases the usable deck space and aids the waterline length slightly.

The bathtub-like cockpit is suitably small for bluewater passage-making, but seats only four to six people comfortably at anchor.

There’s a huge well designed galley with generous dry storage areas.

The boats came with the option of the galley port or starboard. With the port located galley, to starboard was placed the navigation station with the navigator’s seat formed by part of the seagoing quarter berth which runs further aft. In the starboard located galley, to port was placed a generous wet-locker space with a reverse facing navigation station further forward utilizing the port settee as a seat.

The sole below the companionway is sensibly made from teak grating to allow drainage while changing out of wet weather gear. Access to the engine behind the companionway stairs is excellent.

Construction

In terms of balance, the boat exhibits a slight weather helm with a particularly good rudder response (aiding close quarter maneuvering).

~ ~ About Our Pacific Marine Foundation ~ ~

We are selective about the vessels we accept into our program and we pursue a very rigorous process before they are listed for sale. This begins when we first meet with our donors to discuss the condition and recent upkeep of their boat. Once accepted, each new arrival undergoes a thorough examination, similar to what a marine surveyor will do. This allows us to prioritize our attention to any deferred maintenance or repairs that may be needed.

Over the years we have performed just about every kind of marine repair, from electrical and plumbing issues to all types of appearance enhancements and even rebuilding engines. If something is not working right we fix it, simple as that. We prove that her electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems are correct, safe and functioning properly. By doing all of this we know our boats quite well from top to bottom and present them fairly and honestly to buyers.

We encourage you to have our boats professionally surveyed as a part of your purchase process. By the time we’ve finished and the boat is advertised, we’re confident you will receive a strong report from your surveyor.

Thank you for considering PMF boats in your search !

Bluewater Sailboat – Panda 38

The Bluewater Sailboat Panda 38, which debuted in 1982, is one of a family of Scandinavian-styled cruisers developed by Bob Berg from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, which also featured Bob Perry’s successful Baba 30, 35, and 40 designs. The sailboat was designed to be a smaller and lighter alternative to the Panda 40. (aka Baba 40). The Panda 38, like other Berg boats, was built by Ta Shing, which is widely regarded as Taiwan’s premier boatyard, and the exquisite interiors reflect this.

The Panda 38 is known for its sea-friendly action, smooth handling, and quick performance. Only 29 have been produced since their launch, making them relatively uncommon to locate on the market, and they, like all boats from the Bob Berg / Ta Shing combo, have a devoted following.

LOA: 37′ 7″ (excluding bowsprit)
LWL: 31′ 6″
Beam: 12′ 0″
Draft: 5′ 9″
Bridge Clearance: 49′ 6″
Displacement: 19,000 lbs.
Ballast: 6,600 lbs.
Sail Area: 704 sq. ft.
Engine: Universal M40 32hp diesel / Universal M50
Water: 140 US Gal.
Fuel: 75 US Gal.
Year Introduced: 1982
Designer: Gary Grant
Developer: Bob Berg
Builder: Ta Shing, Taiwa

To understand the history of the Panda 38, we must first go back to 1976, the year the Baba 30 was introduced to the world. Berg created the small boat by combining the design talents of Bob Perry with his new discovery, a small boatyard called Shing Sheng. The Baba 30 demonstrated to the American public the type of boat that Taiwan could build. It was a salty full-keeled cruiser with a surprisingly habitable interior in 30 feet. The boat, brimming with excellence, aided the yard (now operating out of purpose-built facilities under the name Ta Shing) in its quest to become Taiwan’s finest boatyard.

The Baba 30 led to the 35, which led to the speedy and luxury full-keeled Baba 40, whose lines were inspired by the now-legendary Valiant 40. Following a naming rights conflict, the Baba 40 was renamed the Panda 40. Bob Berg was seeking for a smaller and lighter alternative at the same time, in 1981. Berg puts it thus way:

“…the market wanted a lighter, smaller boat with a different stern than the Baba 40. I envisioned a stern comparable to the James W. Hart, a catboat designed by Bill Garden with an old-fashioned extended counter stern. This stern design allowed for a larger cockpit.”

He commissioned Gary Grant for the design, who had previously worked in the Perry design studio and had prior experience with this sort of boat. It would be his first commission as a freelance designer. He began tinkering with the design formula in order to increase waterline length, reduce wetted surface area, and reduce displacement.

Ta Shing, of course, created the boat, which debuted in the later part of 1982. Despite the fact that most of the paperwork were shredded in 1992, Berg claims that at least 29 boats were completed. The majority were shipped to the Pacific Northwest. White Bear, Berg’s own boat, was the first Panda 38 to leave the factory, the name being the direct Chinese translation of Panda Bear.

The hull of the Bluewater Sailboat Panda 38 is hand-laid fiberglass, while the decks are coring of end grain balsa cut into two-inch squares with resin barriers to prevent the potential for rot damage from leaks. Ballast is made of 6,600 pounds of cast iron that have been sealed and glassed over.

Vertical teak staving makes up the bulkheads, while detachable sheet laminate or spruce staving is used between the laminated beams overhead. The interior of the hull is lined with polyurethane foam in the living sections to reduce moisture.

Performance

The Panda 38 is a good performer under sail; she is sea-friendly Bluewater Sailboat and is reputed to excel in light air. Owners have reported 150-mile days with only ten knots of wind in close reach; however, more wind is required going downwind in any major sea state. The Panda 38’s total boat speed is said to be comparable to the remarkable Baba 40.

The boat has a slight weather helm with a very good rudder reaction in terms of balancing (aiding close-quarter maneuvering).

Quick Notes

Overall, the Bluewater Panda 38 has proven to be durable and reliable. Aside from the original v-drive transmission leaking often, a few flaws have been uncovered over the years.

Iconic 'little blue boat' that calls Montrose Bay home up for sale after family makes tough decision

For almost 50 years a little blue boat has been moored on the River Derwent in Hobart's northern suburbs by the side of a busy highway.

It is known affectionately by many Tasmanians as "the little blue boat", and has floated alone next to the Brooker Highway at Montrose Bay over the decades.

Sea Breeze, its official name, was built by Robin Attrill in his Montrose backyard in the early 1970s.

His son Colin Attrill said the boat was launched at Macquarie Wharf in 1976.

"It's been on the mooring in Montrose Bay ever since, and that's why it's such an iconic little blue boat," he said.

Tasmanians curious about 'little blue boat'

The boat is an object of fascination for Brooker Highway motorists and foreshore walkers due to it seemingly never moving.

Colin Attrill said it was "absolutely amazing" the number of people who would stop and talk to him about the boat when he was launching the dinghy to go and check on it.

"The number of people that talk to me that are walking past and go 'that boat has been there forever' and 'it was there when I was going to school or every day when I've been driving to work'," he said.

"Some people say they've never seen it move. Well it used to move all the time.

"Of late it's slowed up, we're all busy and dad has slowed up. We lost mum and once that happened it impacted on family activities."

Tough decision to sell

Its owner is now 91 and the boat has not been sailed for about 10 years.

Colin Attrill said the family had recently made the tough decision to try to sell the boat.

"Dad isn't well and he's gotten old, which we all do, and the boat's got old," he said.

"Anyone who knows about a timber boat knows that they need maintenance."

Mr Attrill said the family used to put the boat on the slip at least once a year to clean and antifoul it, and do any repairs.

"But the past few years Dad has been unable to do anything, and the boat unfortunately has just sat on the mooring," he said.

He said the family decided it was time for the boat to have a new owner.

"Nobody is using it, it needs a new owner who will give it the time and get the enjoyment out of it that we had growing up," he said.

"It's a great boat, and there are many years left. Wooden boats just last."

'Next phase' for the boat

The Attrill family is full of passionate sailors and Robin's brother Peter represented Australia in sailing at the Helsinki Olympics in 1952 — Tasmania's fifth Olympian and the first to represent the state in sailing.

When Robin finished building the 25-foot river cruiser, known by the family as The Breeze, it was used for trips away around Hobart.

"We used to have family trips down the channel, down to Cygnet, down to Dover, and all places in between fishing and weekends away," he said.

"We also used to go to events in Hobart like the Hobart Regatta, the Sandy Bay Regatta. We'd be down the river at any chance, or up the river. She made it to New Norfolk a couple of times.

"The boat was all over the place, wherever we could."

Mr Attrill said it would be a sad day when the boat left Montrose Bay after almost 50 years.

"We will see where it goes and where it ends up and what's the next phase for the boat," he said.

Over the years its owner has been keeping a watchful eye on it just a matter of metres away, across the Brooker Highway from his Montrose home of more than 70 years.

"He's always been there. He'd open the blinds in the morning in the kitchen and look out the window and there's the boat," son Colin said.

"It's always been a part of his life."
