Robert Perry, the designer of this fine yacht, is one of the best known and most prolific American designers and has become one of the leaders of performance oriented cruising yachts. Built by Ta Shing, the Baba 30 was the first boat they built. Ta Shing was a builder of local fishing boats and has become one of the world’s finest yacht builders. The Baba 30 is a cutter rig with a canoe stern and bow sprit. Considered a great offshore boat for the solo skipper, she sleeps 4 in a lush double cabin with 6’4” headroom. Laden with teak, the traditionalist loves this boat and they love the increased displacement for offshore conditions.
A true blue water cruiser, capable of world voyaging. Freyja is clean, rugged, very well equipped and maintained and is a real head-turner. Current owners are moving to a larger Perry-designed yacht to accomodate a growing family on cruises, but have taken great care of her and will miss her.

John Kretschmer writing for Sailing Magazine commented, "it's a big boat trapped in a short body" and certainly the displacement and ballast numbers are more akin to boats in the 35ft range. The cockpit is small, giving up most of the space to an expansive interior boasting 6' 4" of headroom. The layout down below has blue water in mind; there's a seagoing berth and chart table combo on the starboard quarter and a large U-shaped seagoing galley to port. Two additional berths are provided in the saloon by way of settees either side of the saloon table. The table can fold away opening up the saloon, as per Perry's original plans. The forward cabin has a V-berth. The quality of workmanship is superb and teak is abundantly used.
