Chitty Bang is an excellent choice for sailors who want to cruise in comfort and have the ability to steer from a protected pilothouse as well as the traditional cockpit. The Taswell All Season is designed to be sailed short handed in any kind of weather. The interior features an upper and lower helm as well as three staterooms, two with large double berths, one with upper and lower berths. There are two heads and a well appointed galley. Chitty Bang is one of very few true pilothouse boats on the market and has the advantage of being a center cockpit as well.

The companionway door from the center cockpit opens into the bright and spacious upper salon and the second helm station, surrounded by windows on three sides for superb visibility. From there are steps forward that lead down to the lower salon with a large dinette opposite the full galley. Forward, the companionway leads to a bunk room to starboard, opposite the head and shower, and the comfortable VIP stateroom.

The luxurious master stateroom is accessed by stairs to starboard and aft of the upper salon and helm station.
