Taswell 72
Description
The Taswell 72 was designed by Bill Dixon and built by Ta Shing Yachts in Tainan City, Taiwan, from 1986 to 2002. This luxury cruising sailboat represented the largest model in the Taswell range, which spanned from 43 to 72 feet and included both center cockpit and aft cockpit configurations. Only 2 hulls of the Taswell 72 were completed before production ended in 2002, making it extremely rare among the total 117 Taswell sailboats built across all models.
