Serious Offshore Raised Saloon Cutter Built by Ta Shing and Designed by Bill Dixon
CELEBRATE is a 2003 Taswell 58 All Season raised saloon cutter designed by Bill Dixon and built by the renowned Ta Shing yard in Taiwan. Taswell yachts have earned a loyal following among experienced cruisers for their robust construction, offshore-first layouts, quality joinery, cutter rigs, and thoughtful systems access, and CELEBRATE is a strong example of that pedigree.
The All Season raised saloon design gives CELEBRATE an interior that feels open, bright, and livable without sacrificing her offshore purpose. The raised deck saloon brings excellent natural light and visibility into the main living space, while the three-cabin, two-head layout, large navigation station, deep galley, and private aft master stateroom create a yacht that is equally comfortable crossing oceans or living aboard at anchor.
CELEBRATE has benefited from significant recent upgrades, including new standing rigging in 2021, a new Quantum LeisureFurl mainsail in 2024, Raymarine Axiom electronics, Raymarine radar and AIS, Starlink, Victron charging and monitoring equipment, a 2022 bow thruster, a 2022 Max-Prop, and all hatches and portlights pulled and re-bedded in 2023. She is also offered turnkey with extensive tools, spares, galley ware, custom bedding, linens, and a 2022 AB center-console tender with 40 HP Honda outboard.
For the buyer seeking a serious bluewater cruising yacht with Bill Dixon design, Ta Shing craftsmanship, real offshore systems, and the comfort of a raised saloon, CELEBRATE is a rare and compelling offering in the 58-foot market.

CELEBRATE is a 2003 Taswell 58 All Season raised saloon cutter, designed by Bill Dixon and built by Ta Shing Yacht Building in Taiwan. The Taswell 58 All Season was conceived as a serious semi-custom offshore cruiser, combining the proven Taswell bluewater DNA with a raised deck saloon that brings natural light, protected visibility, and excellent livability into a yacht capable of real passagemaking.
The interior arrangement is a three-cabin, two-head layout with a spacious raised saloon, large navigation station, forward VIP stateroom, port guest cabin with over/under berths, and a full-beam aft owner’s stateroom. The joinery is one of the yacht’s defining features: curved furniture, warm teak craftsmanship, well-planned storage, and a finish quality associated with Ta Shing’s best cruising yachts.
From the cockpit, the companionway leads into the raised saloon. The dining area is to port with wraparound seating, while a sitting area with twin settees and a coffee table sits adjacent. The navigation station is positioned to starboard. Forward, the port guest cabin and forward head lead to the VIP stateroom. Aft to port, the galley runs from the saloon toward the owner’s suite, with mechanical access inboard. The aft master cabin is private, spacious, and well ventilated, with an en-suite head to starboard.
Interior Styling and Additional Features:
MAIN SALOON
The raised saloon is one of the signature strengths of the Taswell 58 All Season. It combines panoramic natural light, traditional joinery, and a practical offshore layout in a space that feels larger and more refined than many yachts in this size range.
MASTER STATEROOM
The aft master stateroom is entered through the galley and gives CELEBRATE the private owner’s accommodations expected aboard a premium offshore cruising yacht. The space includes a centerline queen berth, abundant storage, and excellent light and ventilation.
Master Head
The aft master head is located to starboard and is dedicated to the owner’s stateroom. It includes a separate shower and practical storage appropriate for liveaboard cruising.
VIP STATEROOM
The forward VIP cabin is arranged with a centerline queen berth and excellent natural light, making it a comfortable guest suite for extended cruising. Storage lines both sides of the hull, and the cabin has convenient access to the forward/day head.
VIP Head
The forward head serves the VIP stateroom and also functions as a day head via dual access. It is large for the size range and includes a separate shower stall.
GUEST CABIN (PORT)
The port guest cabin is located forward of the saloon and provides flexible accommodations for guests, crew, or additional storage during long passages.
The galley runs aft to port from the saloon toward the master cabin and is exceptionally well equipped for long-distance cruising. Counter space, refrigeration, cooking equipment, storage, and access to mechanical spaces make the galley practical both underway and at anchor.
NAVIGATION STATION
The raised saloon navigation station is positioned to starboard and provides a substantial command and systems-management area. The Taswell 58 All Season concept is especially valuable here, giving the navigator a bright, secure, and protected interior station while remaining connected to the sailing and systems functions of the yacht.
ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS
CELEBRATE has been updated with a modern Raymarine navigation package, satellite communications, Starlink, radar, AIS, and system monitoring that make her well suited for offshore navigation and remote cruising.
HULL
The Taswell 58 All Season was designed by Bill Dixon and built by Ta Shing, a yard with a long reputation for robust offshore construction and exceptional interior craftsmanship. CELEBRATE carries the model’s bluewater fundamentals: moderate displacement, cutter rig, fin keel, skeg-hung rudder, and a raised saloon profile that supports serious cruising in a wide range of conditions.
DECK
The deck layout is arranged for offshore movement, anchoring, dinghy handling, and protected cockpit living. Significant updates include rebedded hatches and ports, serviced deck hardware, renewed canvas, upgraded anchoring gear, and a stainless radar arch with solar and electric davits.

BROKER’S COMMENTS
CELEBRATE is a serious bluewater yacht for buyers who understand the difference between a large production cruiser and a purpose-built offshore passagemaker. Bill Dixon’s Taswell 58 All Season design brings together a raised saloon, cutter rig, substantial displacement, skeg-hung rudder, robust Ta Shing construction, and the kind of handcrafted joinery that made Taswell yachts stand apart.
Her updates are meaningful: 2021 standing rigging, 2024 Quantum mainsail, Raymarine Axiom electronics, Raymarine radar and AIS, Starlink, Victron electrical upgrades, solar, bow thruster, newer Max-Prop, rebedded hatches and portlights, renewed canvas, watermaker, and a strong tender package. She is also offered turnkey with tools, spare parts, galley ware, custom bedding, and linens included.
For a buyer looking for a refined raised saloon offshore cruiser with the systems, comfort, and storage to go long, CELEBRATE deserves serious consideration. She is not simply a large cruising yacht; she is a Ta Shing-built Taswell with the pedigree, craftsmanship, and passagemaking proportions that serious sailors continue to seek.
