1981 TAI CHOI, CENTER COCKPIT CUTTER KETCH 

LOULYN

In the water and the very definition of Walk on Sail Away.

CTs are rugged, well-built boats capable of sailing anywhere in the world. The CT47 is a moderately heavy displacement sailboat designed by Kaufmann and Ladd.

You won’t find many sailboats of this size that are literally in “Bristol” shape. Her current owner has over 40 years of woodworking experience and experience in the yachting industry. Once you see the brightwork, the flooring, and even the ceilings throughout, it will seem like you have stepped on a million-dollar mega yacht with the shine and polish she exudes.

Her list of updates and upgrades reads like a who’s who of the industry's best-name brands and components. Well-loved as their full-time home, they are now ready to buy a piece of land and go ashore again.

Located in Marathon, Florida, in the beautiful Florida Keys, she is only one overnighter from the Bahamas, and with her capabilities, as far as you can dream.

Being a center cockpit means better visibility forward and easier boarding into the cockpit. Step on the deck and into the cockpit, rather than the duck and semi crawl routing common on most aft cockpit sailboats, where there is a large stateroom aft with a private head, a large aft deck for entertaining with custom fold-down bench seating, and a solid teak table you have to see the photos of to believe. Multiple angles of access to the engine make routine maintenance a breeze.

See below for the extensive list of enhancements and upgrades.
