Help identifying a yacht

Post by pjesus »

Hi.

I've seen an ad for this boat here in Lisbon but apparently all that is known is that it came from Hong Kong.

I thought of Jaguar, Columbia, even Pearson...
Can anyone identify it so I can learn more about it?

Thanks,

Tiago

Wow! That's awesome!!! To be honest I didn't expect an answer anytime soon.
Thanks, Tim!

Now that I know that I'll search the web but does anyone have an oppinion on these boats?

Tim is exactly right. It's a Taipan 28. Jim Baldwin documented a Taipan refit project on his website. Here is the link (Taipan Refit).
