Broker's Comments
The Taswell 43 is a proven offshore design. This vessel has been sailed in the Puget Sound and through British Columbia waters for the past ten years. Its previous owner sailed it into the South Seas.
This model is included in a list of ten boats praised by Practical Sailor as top off shore sailing vessels. It is often compared with high-end European boats like Malo, Najad, Swan and Hallberg Rassy.
The cutter rig gives you a well-balanced sail plan. And with the furling staysail and triple reefed main it is well-balanced in heavy weather. Over all this vessel gives you a well-finished interior that's easy to live in, plus a great sailing boat in any kind of weather.
Maintenance and replacement of questionable parts has been extensive. Even the refrigeration / freezer systems have been replaced.
It's at our docks in Seattle. Give us a call and come aboard.
