FAITH is an exceptional example of the Taswell 56, a proven Bill Dixon-designed bluewater cruiser built by the highly regarded Ta Shing Yacht Building Company of Taiwan. Taswell yachts are known for robust offshore construction, thoughtful cruising layouts, and the level of teak joinery that made Ta Shing one of the most respected builders of premium offshore yachts of this era.
FAITH stands out because of her ownership history, offshore pedigree, freshwater use, and major refit history. She is reported as a two-owner yacht, never chartered, with a history that includes participation in the 1998 Sydney to Hobart Race and an extensive voyage from Malaysia to Annapolis before later relocating to the Great Lakes. Since 2019, she has been kept in freshwater and used lightly during the Michigan sailing season.
The interior includes a spacious main saloon, proper offshore navigation station with navigator berth, seagoing galley, large aft owner's stateroom, forward guest accommodations, starboard bunk cabin, forepeak cabin, and a converted workshop/storage space where one head was removed. This is a practical layout for a cruising couple, family voyaging, or longer offshore passages with crew.
For buyers looking for a serious offshore platform rather than a light coastal cruiser, FAITH offers a rare combination of pedigree, capability, equipment, craftsmanship, and value. She is a substantial yacht with the bones, systems, and recent care to be a standout in the 55-60 foot bluewater category.
