Kaufman-Ladd Design
Kaufman and Ladd were celebrated naval architects who were renowned for creating vessels that balanced speed and seaworthiness. The CT47 embodies this design philosophy, featuring a
hull optimized for
offshore performance without sacrificing
interior volume and comfort.
Condition and
Restoration Needs
The CT47 is in need of some
work before it can return to the
water. The
hull and
deck are in overall good condition, but the bottom will require a fresh
paint job. Additionally, the
keel requires
repairs.
This presents an excellent opportunity for a buyer looking to restore a classic yacht to their own specifications. With the right expertise and investment, this CT47 can be brought back to its full glory as a capable racer-cruiser.

cabin, aft master stateroom, and two
marine heads. The
galley is well-equipped for extended voyages.

diesel engine, will need to be thoroughly inspected and serviced as part of the
restoration process. The
electrical and
navigation equipment will also require upgrading to modern standards.

price for this
project boat is $65,000. Negotiable. Flights from
