The Taswell 43 stands as a hallmark of the collaboration between the celebrated British naval architect Bill Dixon and the Ta Shing Yacht Building yard. Introduced in the mid-1980s, the 43 was the first model in the Taswell line, designed to bridge the gap between traditional heavy-displacement cruisers and the more modern, performance-oriented hulls entering the market at the time. Unlike the earlier Robert Perry and Al Mason designs built by Ta Shing—which leaned toward a classic aesthetic with double-enders or heavy overhangs—the Taswell 43 features a more contemporary profile with a moderate fin keel and a balanced spade or skeg-hung rudder. This model was produced in two distinct deck configurations: a Center Cockpit (CC) version and the "All Season" (AS) deck saloon version, providing owners a choice between a traditional bluewater layout and a raised-visibility pilothouse arrangement.
