1976 CT 41 Ketch – Classic Bluewater Cruiser with Hybrid Power

Meet BENBECULA, a beautifully maintained 1976 CT 41 auxiliary sailboat designed by Bill Garden and built by the renowned Ta Chaio Brothers in Taiwan. A proven offshore cruiser, this vessel has captured the hearts of long-distance sailors with its solid construction, traditional charm, and seakindly performance.

Key Features:

✅ Extensive Refit (2020-2024): Upgraded with a cutting-edge hybrid propulsion system featuring twin electric Lynch motors, integrated torpedo lithium batteries, with 4 superchargers, and a Cummins 7.5 kW generator—offering efficient, quiet, and sustainable cruising.

✅ Sturdy & Timeless Design: A true “shippy” classic, this ketch is built to last, with a full keel, heavy displacement, and traditional teak details. Ideal for serious cruisers or those seeking a character-filled liveaboard.

✅ Rigging & Sail Upgrades: All standing and running rigging replaced (2018), new roller furling system, and a revised sail plan with a baby forestay for improved balance and handling. New foot installed on the main mast, and both masts reinforced with purpleheart wood blocks.

✅ Liveaboard Potential: Spacious layout, rich wood interior, and the charm of a classic yacht make this an excellent alternative to modern, high-cost sailboats.

If you’re looking for a rugged, well-equipped bluewater cruiser with a hybrid power system, BENBECULA is ready for new adventures.
