Priscilla is the ultimate blue water yacht with everything one could possibly desire for an offshore liveaboard. Her Bill Dixon design is strong, fast and sea-kindly with the proper displacement and interior volume to provide her next owners the ideal accommodations and deck space for world cruising. Priscilla is one of only a few Taswell 49's with the passageway style galley preferred by blue water sailors.
The Taswell 49, a Bill Dixon design is the best example of what a luxury bluewater cruising yacht should be. The Tashing construction quality is world class. Electric winches and bowthruster are valued options for short handed cruising and Priscilla's mast height is intercoastal friendly. The molded non-skid decks are preferred because of their lower maintenance. Priscilla's current replacement is approximately $1.2 million as equipped.
Examples of builder and owner options includes a comprehensive inventory of offshore electronics and radios, generator, 3 zone A/C, and watermaker. The first owner spent over $100,000 to customize the interior which has more storage and more cabinetry than any other Taswell 49. The current owners made an additional large investment in equipment preparing for a circumnavigation.
Vessel Walkthrough "Priscilla" features a beautiful matched grain contemporary varnished teak interior. The spacious, well ventilated, bright accommodations offers living space one would expect in a much larger design. |
