Description
1981 TAI CHOI, CENTER COCKPIT CUTTER KETCH
LOULYN
In the water and the very definition of Walk on Sail Away.
CTs are rugged, well-built boats capable of sailing anywhere in the world. The CT47 is a moderately heavy displacement sailboat designed by Kaufmann and Ladd.
You won’t find many sailboats of this size that are literally in “Bristol” shape. Her current owner has over 40 years of woodworking experience and experience in the yachting industry. Once you see the brightwork, the flooring, and even the ceilings throughout, it will seem like you have stepped on a million-dollar mega yacht with the shine and polish she exudes.
Her list of updates and upgrades reads like a who’s who of the industry's best-name brands and components. Well-loved as their full-time home, they are now ready to buy a piece of land and go ashore again.
Located in Marathon, Florida, in the beautiful Florida Keys, she is only one overnighter from the Bahamas, and with her capabilities, as far as you can dream.
Being a center cockpit means better visibility forward and easier boarding into the cockpit. Step on the deck and into the cockpit, rather than the duck and semi crawl routing common on most aft cockpit sailboats, where there is a large stateroom aft with a private head, a large aft deck for entertaining with custom fold-down bench seating, and a solid teak table you have to see the photos of to believe. Multiple angles of access to the engine make routine maintenance a breeze.
See below for the extensive list of enhancements and upgrades.

Based out of Marathon in the Heart of the Florida Keys, Daryl has been sailing all types of boats since he was 6. Yes, that was 51 years ago. He has seen a lot and done a lot. He enjoys sailing, fishing and snorkeling. A pure for love for boats and all things boating, Daryl will bring tremendous amounts of energy and dedication to providing you with the top-notch boat buying or selling that you deserve. He has 4 beautiful granddaughters that he loves with all his might and simply cannot wait for them to get a little bigger so they can all go sailing together. Fun fact - Darylâs dad, although an excellent captain, was not the best navigator and taught Daryl very early on how to navigate. Right before Daryl took over the duties completely, they were motoring down a narrow canal in south Louisiana with nice houses on both sides. All was going great until all of a sudden, the bow began to rise and rise until it came back down with a mighty splash. Dad had not read his 20-year-old chart (eons before electronic ones) and BAMM they had knocked out the power to dozens or more of expensive homes with families out having their Sunday BBQâs. Well, they never blinkedâthey just turned and ran as fast as the little two cylinder would run.
