Ct 35
Description
The CT 35 (also known as Ta Chiao CT 35) is a classic full-keel cruising sailboat designed for blue water voyages, emphasizing stability, durability, and comfort over speed. Produced in Taiwan by Ta Chiao Yachts starting in 1975, it draws inspiration from traditional designs (loosely based on an earlier William Garden concept, though attributed to one of the Chen brothers in some sources). Approximately 35 hulls were built, with imports to the US handled by companies like Seaboard Marine (initially), Imperial Yachts (1977), and Annapolis Yacht Shop (1980)
