Taswell 49’s have long been regarded as premium blue water cruisers. These boats in the right conditions are capable of delivering 200mile days offshore. Their Scheel keel and ICW friendly mast make the Bahamas and US east coast more accessible. 125 gal of fuel and 200gal of freshwater represents range and tankage you will not find on modern production boats. Ta Shing quality interior joinery is something also no longer found in modern boats This broker is also a Taswell 49 owner and has sold already in 2026 2 other Taswell 49’s. These boats do not stay on the market long. Jade is a unique example as she has the rare two cabin layout. This layout results in larger, more luxurious sleeping cabins as well as additional storage options. Full time cruisers will appreciate her separate showers in both heads as well as monstrous fridge and freezer capacities. Jade’s sellers have enjoyed many years of great cruising but the time is now for them to pursue new adventures.

Owners Comments and Boat History

Here’s Jade’s history, some of which was recently relayed to me through prior owners Derek and his wife Janet. Derek said the boat was imported to the US when it was originally purchased from TaShing in ’89. He thinks it had 2 or 3 owners before he bought it. He and his wife sailed it as their personal yacht, and I believe they lived aboard most of the time they owned it. I don’t know all the places she’s been, but I’ve run across log entries of Killarney, Ireland, New England, & all over the Caribbean. My wife and I bought Jade from Derek and his wife in 2019, and lived aboard for several years, until a bit of a life change happened for us when an old friend asked me to come work for him flying floatplanes in Alaska, a lifelong dream of mine. In case you’re wondering, I’m certain Jade was never chartered. Derek’s company charters sailboats in the 100’ range and there’s no record of any charter activity in any records on the boat.
