We don't know how drawings on paper translate to performance on the water. For that, we need help. Robert H. Perry's success is not just as a sailboat design reviewer, but also as a sailboat designer. Bob's legacy as a designer is secure in a body of work that ranges from the traditional to the cutting edge. He introduced the concept of the performance cruiser to the sailing world with his now classic Valiant 40, turned out a plethora of production designs that scored notable success in the marketplace and has an international clientele for custom designs that run the gamut from blue water cruising yachts to light displacement racers.
