The Taswell 49 is established as one of the finest center cockpit designs in the world. The original owner spent over a year and 200K to ensure this vessel had all the right equipment plus some custom features. The features include a Hood electric stoway mast, a larger engine, and electric primary winches to make single handed sailing easy. Extra drawers and cabinetry were added below and an extra storage locker on deck plus a Givens 8 man offshore liferaft. In 2000 the previous owner invested in a cosmetic and systems upgrade including an Awlgrip paint with custom blue stripe, new auto pilot controls, new larger alternator plus had all systems serviced. This is a perfect blue water sailing vessel for anyone wishing to go offshore.
