Taswell 49 "Charlie Brown" Shoal draft centre cockpit Yacht

Eighty years of Taiwanese craftsmanship and a seakindly, sleek yet powerful design from the drawing board of renowned yacht designer, Bill Dixon, are the hallmarks of this performance cruiser from premier boat builders, Ta Shing Yachts, Taiwan. Fitted with a Scheele keel that concentrates significant weight at the bottom of the keel, combined with her ample beam, makes the Taswell 49 very stable and stiff under sail. Her owners for the past 25+ years have cruised her to the pacific islands and extensively on the east coast, consistently at 8-9 kts under sail and perfectly balanced in most conditions. Her sailing systems are set up for short handed sailing... Hydraulic furling headsail, in mast hydraulic furling mainsail and large self tailing winches.
The craftsman teak joinery below decks is superyacht quality and in perfect condition. Fully air conditioned below decks, there is an island queen bed, ensuited owner's stateroom aft, a guest two single bunk cabin midships and another two single bunk cabin forward with a shared bathroom.
The spacious, yet cosy, saloon with it's curved five-seater settee to port and a bench style three-seater settee opposite to starboard, have hosted many a get together and amply catered for by the superbly equipped u-shaped galley to starboard aft, with it's twin deep stainless steel sinks, front and top loading refrigeration, lots of bench space and heaps of storage.
The forward section of the cockpit is well protected by a solid dodger, enabling the sliding hatch to be open in most conditions under sail and the aesthetically pleasing, curved aft section also makes for comfortable lounging at anchor.
The Davco Electric Davits on the transom house the 3.4M center console RIB dinghy, with it's 25hp electric start Mercury outboard and the stainless steel mountings for the Solar Panels, hinged for dinghy access.
The stainless steel anchor is housed on a substantial stainless steel twin roller system.
"Charlie Brown" is superbly equipped for extended cruising and comes with a spare for almost everything. This is truly a ready to go, fast, high end cruising yacht that easily matches the quality of an Oyster and Swan.
