| Description: |
Robert Perry is based in Washington State, and is a successful yacht designer generally credited with starting the "performance cruising" movement that introduced the concept of sailing speed to offshore cruising yachts. After spending several years as apprentice for design offices, in 1974, Robert Perry opened his own yacht design office on Shilshole Bay in Seattle. The body of work produced since then has established the Perry office as one of the leaders in performance oriented cruising yachts. In 1979, Yacht Racing/Cruising Magazine awarded Bob its Medal of Achievement for Performance Cruising Design. In 1989 CRUISING WORLD magazine established the CRUISING HALL OF FAME named 15 sailing professionals who "have made a difference to cruising sailors everywhere". Bob Perry was one of the first 15 inductees into this auspicious HALL of FAME group. Some of the famous Perry designed production boats include the Valiant, Tayana, Passport, Baba and the Cheoy Lee series.rnrn
