The Taswell 56 stands as the sophisticated evolution of the partnership between Ta Shing Yacht Building and the British design firm Dixon Yacht Design. Launched in the late 1980s and produced through the 1990s, this model represents the larger end of the Taswell spectrum, bridging the gap between the popular 49foot cruiser and the flagship 60foot semicustom yachts. Built in Tainan, Taiwan, the 56 is a quintessential bluewater cruiser, engineered for longdistance voyaging with a focus on redundant systems, heavyweather safety, and the luxurious woodwork that defined Ta Shing’s reputation. Unlike the earlier "traditional" aesthetics of the Robert Perrydesigned Babas, the Taswell 56 features the more contemporary, sleek lines and efficient underwater profiles characteristic of Bill Dixon’s work.
