Welcome to the "Baba-L@Yahoo" group for Baba-Panda-Tashiba sailboat owners, friends, and owners of boats designed by Bob Perry (Valiant, Tayana, etc.) and other Ta Shing built boats (Masons, Taswell, etc.)

"Baba-L@Yahoo" is owned and managed by a group of BPT owners on a volunteer basis and not sponsored by commercial interests. Our group exists for the benefit of its members. There will never be a charge for membership in our group. Members may post boats and other items for sale to the group, but offers and negotiations must take place off-list. Broker listings and direct commercial sales are not permitted. All financial connections must be disclosed. Disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated. The managers reserve the right to make final decisions regarding group membership, postings, and files.

You may access the group two ways. Each requires approval from our group moderators listed at the bottom of this page. Please do give a reason for wanting to join the group as this helps us keep out spammers and marketeers.

(1) Creating a profile with Yahoo gives you access to the group's web-based functions (see the toolbar on the left).

(2) Without creating a profile with Yahoo, you may subscribe to the mailing list. You will be able to send and receive group e-mails, but not access the group's web-based functions.

Two other "bluewater" sailing groups you might enjoy are:
Valiant < http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Valiant-sailboats > and
Tayana < http://groups.google.com/group/TOGnews >.

"Baba-L@Yahoo" is managed for the Baba-Panda-Tashiba (BPT) community by BPT owners:
