The Taswell 49, crafted by the renowned Ta Shing shipyard in Taiwan, represents a sophisticated evolution in the world of high-end bluewater cruising. Launched in the late 1980s and designed by the esteemed British naval architect Bill Dixon, the 49 was the flagship of the Taswell line during its peak production years. Built to bridge the gap between traditional heavy-displacement cruisers and modern performance yachts, the vessel was offered in two primary configurations: the classic Center Cockpit (CC) and the innovative "All Season" (AS) deck saloon model. According to the Ta Shing Yachts official history, the Taswell series was the yard's first major foray into its own proprietary brand after decades of building for American labels like Mason and Baba, allowing the craftsmen to showcase their finest joinery and composite engineering without the constraints of external brand templates.
