1985 Ta Shing Tashiba Panda 40 Pilothouse

Manufacturer Provided Description: The Tashiba 40's hull is made of hand-laminated, one-piece, heavy-duty fiberglass with optional polyurethane insulation for liveaboard ability. Vinylester resins are used on the exterior for maximum osmotic protection as well as 951 Armorcote gelcoat, formulated to provide outstanding weather resistance. A series of longitudinal and transverse stringers are used to provide maximum hull support.  There is a one-piece internal iron cast ballast, bedded with fiberglass and polyester resin, glassed over to reinforce the hull section. The Tashiba 40 also includes a hand-laminated FRP house and deck with end grain balsa sandwich construction. Where deck hardware is through-bolted, it is reinforced with encapsulated marine grade plywood using stainless steel backing plates. The standard model is cutter-rigged and features a varnished teak and spruce cabin sole, a teak interior finished with satin varnish, a double sink in a wrap-around galley, hot and cold pressure water with a shower and two separate double staterooms. Pedestal steering is standard. The pilothouse model provides a warm, secure inside steering station. The substantial windows are made from 10-mm tempered glass with optional storm shutters available. There are two double staterooms, plus a single quarterberth to starboard.

The Nauty Bear Was constructed as their well known cutter.  The owners decided they wanted the staysail left off but the mast and pulpit hardware installed to be able to rig at a later date.  It was discovered they did not need it but it has always been ready for rigging to complete.
