History
Most classic yachts have a few stories to tell, Tai Mo Shan has more than most. The official story goes that in 1932 Five young Naval officers stationed in Hong Kong pooled their funds and commissioned a 54ft ocean going ketch from HS Rowse. They then asked for leave and sailed her back to Dartmouth via Japan, Alaska, San Francisco, Panama and Bermuda. New fact have however been emerging which tells a much more interesting story.......... (watch this space)
She was built to such high standards in teak that a surveyor once described her as twice Lloyds specification. Once home she was one of the original yachts purchased by the Royal Navy Sailing Association. (For the full story Click here)
Now she is a comfortable cruising yacht based in Turkey near Samos with cruising grounds which contain some of the most facinating ancient sites, vibrant harbours and secluded, beautiful anchorages
