1984 Ta Chiao CT47

The Ta Chiao CT47 is a 47-foot fiberglass sailing yacht built in Taiwan in 1984. She combines the durability and seaworthiness of a classic design without the typical maintenance issues of older wooden boats. The hull is solid and capable—stable underway, spacious on deck, and built to handle serious cruising.

Below deck are two cabins and two heads, arranged for comfortable extended cruising or live-aboard use. The interior remains fully functional with solar power systems installed. The boat is equipped with an 81-horsepower Perkins diesel engine that has seen low hours of use; the transmission was recently replaced. She achieves a cruising speed of 7 knots with a maximum speed of around 8 knots.

The yacht's cosmetic condition reflects her age and use—she shows wear that reflects honest ownership rather than showroom appearance. The structure and systems are sound and operational, and the boat is ready to move aboard and cruise as-is. Those planning significant cosmetic updates or refinishing will find ample opportunity to customize her to personal taste.
