Rare Pilothouse Motorsailer with Inside/Outside Steering, Rebuilt Engine, Newer Sails, Generator, Solar, Air Conditioning, Diesel Heat, and Extensive Recent Electronics Upgrades
ONWARD is a rare and highly capable 1992 Taswell 43 All Season, designed by Bill Dixon and built by the highly regarded Ta Shing Yacht Building yard. Known for their robust construction, finely finished interiors, and serious bluewater capability, Taswell yachts have earned a loyal following among knowledgeable cruising sailors. The 43 All Season is an especially desirable model, offering the comfort and protection of a true pilothouse motorsailer with both inside and outside steering stations.
Her raised saloon and elevated dinette provide panoramic visibility while seated, a notably practical and comfortable feature for owners who value protection, warmth, and visibility underway or at anchor. The center cockpit is secure and well protected, while the interior arrangement offers two private staterooms, two ensuite heads, a spacious aft owner’s cabin, a well-equipped galley, and generous storage throughout.
ONWARD has benefited from substantial recent investment, including a rebuilt Yanmar 75 hp diesel with approximately 120 hours since rebuild, new Quantum sails, updated Raymarine electronics, new Standard Horizon VHF with AIS, new Furuno GPS, new Victron inverter and monitoring, Starlink, solar, updated LED lighting, and hydraulic steering system work completed in 2024. Her Leisure Furl in-boom furling, cutter rig, 5'6" Scheel keel, 62' bridge clearance, generator, air conditioning, Espar diesel heat, arch, davits, and low-maintenance exterior make her especially appealing for owners seeking a capable cruising yacht that can be handled comfortably and lived aboard for extended periods.
With her protected center cockpit, inside helm, shoal draft, ICW-friendly rig height, and true pilothouse comfort, ONWARD is well positioned for East Coast, Bahamas, seasonal liveaboard, and long-range cruising. She is a distinctive offering for buyers seeking the rare combination of sailing performance, motorsailer practicality, and recent systems investment.
