Taswell 50

Built by Taiwan's renowned Ta Shing Yacht Building between 1999 and 2002, this Bill Dixon-designed 50-footer represents serious offshore cruising capability wrapped in elegant traditional lines. The cutter rig configuration with 1,100 square feet of sail area provides excellent versatility for varying conditions, while the substantial 40,000-pound displacement and moderate beam of 15 feet deliver the stability and seaworthiness that blue-water sailors demand. The fin keel with rudder mounted on a protective skeg offers an ideal compromise between performance and security, particularly valuable when navigating challenging anchorages or dealing with potential grounding situations. With a comfort ratio of 37.83, this design prioritizes motion comfort over pure speed, making extended passages more pleasant for crew and guests alike. Ta Shing's reputation for exceptional build quality and attention to detail shines through in their fiberglass construction, creating vessels known for their longevity and reliability. The 75-horsepower engine provides adequate auxiliary power, while the SA/Displacement ratio of 15.11 suggests respectable sailing performance without sacrificing the solid, confident feel that characterizes proper ocean-going yachts. This design appeals to experienced sailors seeking a capable, well-built platform for serious coastal and offshore cruising adventures.
