The CT 47 Center Cockpit, produced by the Ta Chiao Bros. Yacht Building Co., represents a significant chapter in the evolution of the "Taiwanese Clipper" era. While the shipyard gained early fame for the traditional, heavyscantling designs of William Garden, the CT 47 signaled a move toward more modern performance standards under the hand of renowned naval architect Robert Perry. Designed in the late 1970s and produced through the 1980s, the CT 47 was intended to provide a faster, more weatherly alternative to the ubiquitous CT 41, while retaining the offshore robustness and ornate woodwork that defined the yard’s identity. The result is a heavydisplacement cruiser that balances the "old world" aesthetic of a clipper bow and teakheavy finishes with a contemporary underwater profile capable of maintaining higher average speeds on long passages.
