The Ta Chiao CT 54, often recognized by its striking clipper bow and intricate trailboards, is a cornerstone of the traditional Taiwanese boatbuilding era. Designed by the esteemed Robert Perry in the mid1970s, this heavydisplacement ketch was the first fiberglass (GRP) design of his career. It was built to satisfy a burgeoning market for robust, romanticlooking offshore cruisers that prioritized interior volume and comfort over racing prowess. Though it bears the visual hallmarks of a William Garden design—a choice Perry made to appeal to the shipyard's aesthetic preferences—the CT 54 is a significant vessel in its own right, representing the transition from traditional wooden aesthetics to modern material durability. Between 1975 and 1981, approximately 104 units were produced before the molds were retired in favor of its successor, the CT 56.
