The Ta Chiao CT 35 is a quintessential example of the "Taiwanese Cruiser" era, a period defined by heavydisplacement doubleenders that prioritized seaworthiness and traditional aesthetics over raw speed. Designed by the legendary naval architect Robert Perry, the CT 35 shares its DNA with the celebrated Baba 35 and the Flying Dutchman 35, all of which utilized the same hull mold but were finished by different shipyards. While Ta Chiao is perhaps most famous for the William Gardendesigned CT 41, the CT 35 represents a more refined evolution in hull design, marrying the classic "Canoe Stern" look with Perry’s modernized underwater geometry. Built during a time when Ta Chiao was a pioneer in fiberglass construction in Taiwan, the boat remains a staple of the bluewater cruising community for sailors who value a "tanklike" build quality and the warmth of extensive teak joinery.
