This 2000 Taswell 50 is listed at 50 ft in overall length and 15.08 ft in beam. Designed by internationally respected yacht designer Bill Dixon and built by the renowned Ta Shing Shipyard, ONSET is a highly customized 2000 Taswell 50 Cutter that embodies the qualities serious cruisers seek in a true offshore passagemaker. Combining exceptional craftsmanship, a comfortable center cockpit layout, and extensive cruising capabilities, ONSET offers an outstanding platform for coastal cruising, extended liveaboard adventures, or offshore passagemaking. Unlike many Taswell 50s, ONSET was extensively customized during construction by her original owner, resulting in a more spacious and functional interior. The enlarged navigation station, expanded U-shaped galley with generous storage and countertop space, custom salon arrangement with opposing settees and lounge seating, and comfortable aft owner's stateroom create an inviting interior that feels larger than many yachts in her class. Throughout the vessel, Ta Shing's renowned teak joinery and thoughtful use of space are immediately apparent. Designed to be managed comfortably by a cruising couple, ONSET features electric in-mast furling, electric primary winches, Furlex headsail furling systems, a bow thruster, hard dodger, and a protected center cockpit, making sail handling straightforward while providing excellent comfort underway. Over the years, the vessel has benefited from several significant systems upgrades that enhance her long-range cruising capability. Recent improvements include a modern Victron electrical management system, approximately 1,200 amp-hours of lithium battery capacity, solar charging, updated Raymarine navigation electronics, Spectra watermaker, Panda generator, AIS, SSB communications, and numerous additional cruising enhancements that provide a strong foundation for extended time aboard. Today, ONSET represents an exciting opportunity to acquire one of the more unique Taswell 50s built. While the vessel would benefit from cosmetic exterior updates consistent with her age, her quality construction, desirable custom layout, and extensive onboard systems offer tremendous value for buyers seeking a capable offshore cruiser with excellent bones and the opportunity to personalize her to their own standards. Whether your plans include exploring the Bahamas, cruising the Caribbean, or preparing for offshore passages, ONSET delivers the pedigree, comfort, and capability that have made the Taswell 50 a respected choice among experienced sailors. The listed specifications include 154 hp of total engine power.
