The Ta Chiao Formosa 35 is a rare and highly sought-after sailing yacht renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship. Designed by naval architect William Garden and crafted in Taiwan, this versatile vessel boasts a cutter sail plan featuring a bowsprit for extended forestay, enhancing the headsail area, alongside a self-tacking staysail for effortless handling. Equipped with a robust worm gear steering system, coupled with heavy displacement and a full keel, the Formosa 35 ensures stability and comfort, making it exceptionally seaworthy. Every aspect of this yacht, from its stunning teak deck to intricately carved cabinetry and brass portholes, reflects meticulous attention to detail. As a timeless BLUEWATER cruiser, the Ta Chiao Formosa 35 is the perfect companion for epic offshore voyages, delivering on every front.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Said to be based on an earlier W. Garden design though not directly attributed to him in any sales literature.
The CT 35 was first imported to the US by Seaboard Marine, Inc., then Imperial Yachts of California in 1977, then Annapolis Yacht Shop out of Maryland in 1980. By 1981, Seaboard Marine had returned to sell the last few boats.
Cutter or ketch.
LOA w/bowsprit: 42’.

A dual station pilot house version seems to be the most common.(drawing shown)
