Carina | Taswell 50' 2000

NEW TO MARKET!  THE PERFECT BLUE WATER CRUISING YACHT!

NEW UPHOLSTERY BEING INSTALLED IN SALON!

CARINA is a beautiful,  professional cared for Taswell 50 with many custom features.  She is one of the most customized Taswell 50’s ever built.  Her original owner was very involved during the build process making several trips to the Ta Shing Shipyard, one of the world’s finest yacht builders.  CARINA’s interior arrangement offers many improvements including a larger navigation center, expanded galley, custom salon with lounge seats and coffee table to starboard and custom facing settees and dining table to port.

The talent and experience of CARINA's designer, Bill Dixon are evident everywhere.  Her deck layout and styling, exquisite interior joinery and fast sea kindly hull design. One of my favorite designers Bill Dixon seems to find usable space other designers ignore or overlook.  CARINA is no exception!  There is extra storage in every cabin, especially the galley,  all berths are longer, wider, beautiful matched grain varnished teak woodwork throughout and a teak cabin sole with contrasting inlay.  The interior offers living space comparable to much larger yachts. The interior is filled with good light and ventilation throughout. The patented Scheel Keel allows access to many additional harbors and anchorages not usually accessible to 50’ yachts.  A Stoway mainmast, electric winches, manual jib and staysail furlers and bow thruster make shorthanded sailing a breeze.  Fuel and water capacity have been increased with the addition of custom tanks in the salon and second guest cabin.  CARINA  is the ultimate cruising yacht for a couple or a crowd, making coastal passages or world-wide passage making. 

SHE IS A MUST SEE FOR THE SERIOUS BLUE WATER CRUISER!

Starting forward with a full beam guest cabin. The large double berth is extra long and wider than most.  Just aft and to port is the second guest cabin with a large raised single berth  and good storage. Across the passageway to starboard is the guest head featuring a separate stall shower with acrylic shower door, Vacflush head, vanity with Corian counter top and medicine cabinet.

The main salon has been extensively customized with twin facing settees around a wide inlaid teak, adjustable height, dining table to port.  Two comfortable custom arm chairs are mounted

To starboard with coffee table. Outboard of the seating both port and starboard are shelf lockers with Corian surfaced shelving with teak fiddles and additional storage under the shelves.

The custom Nav station is aft of the salon to port with wide desk and storage under the hinged desk top, a comfortable swivel chair allows easy access.  An array of instruments and radios are outboard and above the nav-desk. The boat can be operated entirely from here in bad weather.  The Bass electric panel and Panda Generator controls are above the engine access doors. A total of six access doors surround the engine and generator making access very easy.

To Starboard is the impressive U shaped galley.  Featuring extended counter space, double stainless steel sink, three burner stove with oven, stainless steel hood with power vent to the exterior, microwave, multiple storage lockers and drawers (all drawers are much deeper than normal for extra storage) and a trash locker adjacent to the sink.  A Raritan ice maker is located between the galley and the dining area.  This galley counter space rivals most homes.

The luxurious aft cabin features a wider, longer queen berth and two chests of drawers.  A full length mirror plus dressing table with swing out swivel seat and a large second mirror set against the forward bulkhead.  The ensuite head includes a vanity with medicine cabinet and separate stall shower.  Outboard of the shower beneath towel storage is the Spectra watermaker.  The head is hand operated and provides the option of ElectraSan waste water sterilization treatment or direct overboard discharge.
