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

"Baba-L @Yahoo!" is owned by BPT owners, run by volunteers, and not sponsored by commercial interests. There will never be a charge for membership in our group. Our group belongs to its members.
