To All:

I've been lurking here on the list since we went from the Baba Group. I'm not a new Baba owner but rather an old Panda 34 owner. We have hull #6 which we think is the last of the breed? We've had the boat for 12 years already and still love her! We are on a mooring in Pentwater, Michigan but plan to head for salty water in a few years (but maybe sooner!!!)

Any other Panda owners out there, especially Panda 34's? BTW, we have a website about our boat, plans, and travels (which is in BAD need of updating!!!) that can be reached by going to

Happy sailing

Hi. I bought my Baba 10 months ago. I found it on Yachtworld. It was located
in San Diego, California. I drove from Galveston, Texas to see the boat. It
looked great and surveyed out excellent. One week later it was on a truck to
Texas. Myself, my wife, Terry and our daughter Lindsey love the boat. We
liked the name of the vessel so it was not changed.
Fair winds, blue water.
