54' Ta Chiao Ketch 1978

Estate sale, don't miss this opportunity to own one of the prettiest yachts ever built at a fantastic price. The CT 54 is a four stateroom yacht which feels like a home on the inside and has the classic look of a bygone era on the outside. The Ta Chaio Ketch is 65 feet over all with the bow sprit and is 54 feet on deck. She has a large master stateroom aft with a centerline queen and transom windows which makes for a very romantic love nest. There are his and hers head areas with a shared shower stall between. There is a cabin in each passageway going forward on each side of the boat. A magnificent sweeping stairway enters the salon from the cockpit. She has a comfortable settee on the port side and a nav station and inside steering station to starboard. Down a couple of steps forward is a chef’s dream galley to port and a dinette to starboard. Forward is a large private VIP guest stateroom with it’s own head.

With the Ford Lehman 120hp diesel, 15 Kw generator and Heart 2000W inverter you should never run out of power. She has a full compliment of sails, including full battened main and mizzen.

These photo's were taken in 2014 when Mandalay was in her glory. The owners health since declined until his passing in April 2018. She has been on the hard for almost 3 years. She needs some TLC to put her back into shape and the current asking price reflects this. Current photos available upon request.

This spectacular yacht is located in La Paz, Baja Sur Mexico, the gateway to the Sea of Cortez, which has some of the best cruising in the world. Come see our blue seas, deserted white sand beaches and endless anchorages.
