Tashiba 40

Step aboard the Ta Shing Tashiba 40 'Mezzaluna', a turnkey bluewater cruiser with a glowing reputation for its offshore capabilities.

Designed by naval architect Bob Perry and built by the renowned Ta Shing Boatyard in Taiwan, this cutter-rigged yacht is widely regarded as one of the finest bluewater cruisers ever produced.

Based on the proven Valiant 40 hull, it features a modified full keel for added stability and a solid hand-laid fibreglass hull that thickens around the keel for exceptional strength. The result is a balanced, forgiving yacht that inspires confidence in challenging conditions.

Lovingly maintained and extensively upgraded, Mezzaluna's original teak decks have been replaced with a fully fibreglassed deck, creating a watertight, low-maintenance finish without compromising her classic appearance.
