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

work before it can return to the

restoration process. The
electrical and
navigation equipment will also require upgrading to modern standards.
