Jade is a high performance yacht designed by Bill Dixon, loaded with equipment, well maintained priced ready for her next adventure. Built at the famed TaShing shipyard, Jade is built tough, yet elegant, at once nimble and kind to her crew.  Designed for comfortable passage making, she is equally at home around local water, sailing safely and in luxury.

While foremost she is a serious cruising machine with modern but classic sleek lines, Jade is also a very comfortable home away from home.  Below-decks glow with the very finest teak workmanship, as stunning upon inspection as in the photos, with lockers and storage where they should be!  The workmanship is simply unmatched in most newer yachts.  She was designed not with just plush accommodations in mind, but with a superior turn of sail.  Easily handled by a couple or crew, Jade is fantastic offshore, and you'll find her sister ships around the world.

Construction is robust with a solid non-cored hull stiffened with heavy duty longitudinal stringers and traverse floor stingers for stability and strength.  Ballast material is lead, located deep in the long fully enclosed scheel keel.  

The deck design includes a low profile center cockpit, providing a dry cockpit underway, and excellent lounging opportunities when relaxing in the harbor.  There is a long teak rub rail to protect the hull, and high quality hardware is found on deck.  She carries a relatively wide beam, has a well rounded bilge, deep forefoot, and short overhangs.  She has a displacement of 32,000 pounds, while ballast ratio is 40%, providing great balance and kind motion for her crew. 

Jade is now ready for another adventure, loaded with gear, spares and cruising equipment.  It will be very hard to find another yacht built, equipped, and ready to go, as Jade is, for under $250,000.  Her owners are moving ashore, leaving behind for you a yacht maintained constantly to a high standard by long term, capable and knowledgeable owners.

If you are familiar with Oysters, Passports, Bristols or Hylas, and never seen a Taswell, you will be very surprised by the quality and value of Jade.  If you are looking for a well sailing, solidly built yacht in this size you should be looking at this Taswell 49!

Vessel Walk-through

Beginning forward is the Guest Stateroom with a queen centerline berth.  The berth is flanked by teak steps, and storage outboard along the teak.  To starboard is a hanging locker and drawers, and a bench seat is to port.  Light and ventilation are provided by the overhead hatch and three opening ports.  The en-suite fresh water electric head and separate stall shower is to port.

Aft is the spacious and elegant Main Cabin.  To port are two club chairs, recovered in 2015, sharing a teak table.  Opposite is the U-shaped settee and hi-lo cocktail table, which converts to a large dining table with the easy addition of two leaves, stored in a dedicated locker near the Nav station.  The flat screen TV is hinged to the aft outboard locker in the salon, stowing within when underway.  Port lights are amidships on both sides, along with two overhead hatches.

Aft of the club chairs along the starboard side is the generous Galley.  At the forward end is a beautiful teak cabinet with curved double doors providing for enormous custom china and galley storage  Aft is the stove and oven, and at the aft end of the galley, along the bulkhead, is the large refrigerator and separate freezer.  Along the inboard side, to starboard of the companionway stairs, is the stainless steel double sink and additional storage.

Under the companionway stairs and running aft, is the Engine Compartment with access on three sides.

Outboard along the port side, and aft of the settee, is the Navigation Station with the ship's breaker panel, sailing instrument repeaters, VHF radio/hailer, gimbaled compass, and two GPS screens. Opposite is a wet hanging locker for up to 4 sets of foul weather gear, as well as access to the engine room. 

The port entrance to the Master Stateroom is aft of the nav station.  The cabin is spacious, and easily accommodates the queen centerline berth and en-suite fresh water electric head and stall shower.  On the forward bulkhead is a large mirror, vanity and swing-out seat.  Bench seats are located to each side of the berth.  There are hanging lockers and drawers for generous storage.  The aft cabin has six opening coachroof and hull ports, and a large deck hatch and two fixed ports.  Jade has abundant storage throughout all of her cabins, as expected for a semi custom cruising sailboat of her type.

Throughout Jade all bulkheads and furniture are teak. The teak is in impeccable condition, and the sole is protected throughout by small elegant rugs.  Reverse cycle air conditioning and heat keep the dog days of August at bay.
