The Ta Chiao CT 56 stands as a monumental example of the "Taiwanese traditional" era of yacht building, representing a period when heavy displacement, ketch rigs, and exhaustive teak joinery defined the pinnacle of offshore luxury. Often categorized alongside its siblings as a "Teak Palace," the CT 56 was designed for the sailor who prioritizes comfort and structural mass over lightair agility. Built in the Kaohsiung shipyard during the 1970s and 80s, these vessels were constructed to handle the rigors of the Pacific and Atlantic alike, featuring a highvolume hull that allows for longterm liveaboard capability. While the brand is frequently associated with the designs of William Garden, the CT 56 lineage is more closely tied to the design work of Robert Perry, who famously penned the CT 54 upon which the 56 is largely based.
