I had the pleasure recently of sitting down with Bob H Perry to talk about: the origins and inspiration of the Nordic Yachts designs, his feelings on modern European production design, adapting to new technology and his use of social media to stay in touch with owners. Big thanks to Bob Perry and everyone who contributed. I learned a lot in the process. Hope you enjoy it.
Very nice interview , I had the pleasure of meeting Bob a couple years ago at they Sausalito Yacht Club , he came down to give a talk about his boats and promoted his book , we both arrived about two hours early so I was able to have a great visit with Bob and talk about my boat Mystic , Nordic 40 hull # 26 1987 , still working on my boat installing a new fuel tank at this time , new Bata 50 in a few weeks .

Hey Roger – Thanks for the feedback and welcome. Good luck with the install!
It’s a special time to be hearing such detail from a yacht designer at the top of his game.
