2004 Ta Chiao Custom Pilothouse Cutter
Boat Type: Cutter Address: Key West, FL, US Price: $1,750,000

Overview

Built for an experienced yachtsman and designed by Ted Hood / Ted Fontaine, CABOCHON's stout construction, world-class features and attention to detail are evident everywhere, from her robust practical engineering and redundant systems to beautifully book-matched teak joinery and dovetailed drawers. CABOCHON is a remarkable yacht that incorporates numerous desirable features - shoal draft (board up = 6'6"/ board down = 18'), gracious accommodations, performance under sail and comfort at sea, all in one beautiful vessel.  

CABOCHON has benefitted from a rolling refit over the last three years which has included Awlgrip hull, decks re-caulked, rig unstepped, and painted with  recently inspected standing rigging, electronics, entertainment systems, exterior and interior soft goods, mechanical service, air-conditioning system, hydraulic system, helm station controls, exterior canvas, tender, etc. 

She is US duty paid, MECAL approved, and recently commercially registered to allow for a charter program (although never chartered thus far). CABOCHON will continue to turn heads worldwide, no matter where she is sailing, and is currently offered at an exceptional value.

Descriptions

ACCOMMODATIONS

CABOCHON has accommodations for six adults and two children in the owner's party, with three large private staterooms aft, split-level dining/lounge areas amidships, plus two en-suite cabins forward of the galley for crew. Joinery is finely crafted Euro-style teak with a gloss varnish finish.



PILOTHOUSE

The large pilothouse, originally designed for inclement weather, becomes the social center aboard CABOCHON. It is light and airy with excellent visibility. To port is a U-shaped settee and teak table that seats six, great for informal meals, cocktails or just planning the day's activities. To starboard and forward is the navigation area with throttle and autopilot control, complete with all electronics, nav table and helmsman's seat. Aft of the nav area is a wet bar and coffee machine.  



MASTER STATEROOM

Entered from the pilothouse down full-sized easy-access stairs and hallway, the master stateroom aft has 1 king (new, 2019) and 1 queen sized berth, port and starboard, a makeup area, two cedar-lined hanging lockers, plenty of storage space and his and hers bathrooms. Port head features a bath tub while the starboard head features an enclosed shower. Opening portholes for ventilation and deck prisms for additional natural light. LCD TV with high-definition satellite and Sonos system(2018). Aft, a centerline companionway leads to a private aft cockpit.



GUEST STATEROOMS

Forward of the master stateroom and separated by a passageway are two guest staterooms, each with en-suite head and stall shower. Both guest staterooms have two twin beds, plus fold-away Pullman berths for children. Both cabins have fillers for the twin beds which convert them to single queens (new, 2019) Both cabins have cedar-lined hanging lockers, plenty of storage space, two opening portholes for ventilation and deck prisms for additional natural light. LCD TVs with high-definition satellite and Sonos system. 



MAIN SALON

The full-beam salon is open to the pilothouse salon, so that the pilothouse windows reach over 50 percent of the salon. Two hatches provide abundant natural light in the salon. To starboard is a dining area for eight. To port is an L-shaped couch with coffee table and a 40′′ LCDTV with high-definition satellite, DVD, and Sonos system.  In addition to ample dry storage, there is a built-in wine rack, refrigerator and ice maker. 



GALLEY

Forward of the main salon, a sliding teak door, as well as a watertight MCA door, lead to a large, U-shaped galley and crew mess. The fully equipped galley has a large hatch for light and/or fresh air while at anchor, so the running of A/C (new 2019) is often an elective. There are multiple freezer compartments to support "around-the-world" adventuring.  

 



CREW ACCOMMODATIONS

Two double crew cabins are located forward of the galley. Each cabin has its own sink and toilet and shares a centrally located shower. The crew mess is equipped with its own entertainment center, including LCD TV (2018), with High-Def Satellite, Sonos and Apple TV. Miele washer and Miele dryer are located beside the crew mess for easy access. 



COCKPIT

Aft of the pilothouse is the primary cockpit which can be fully enclosed and protected with a rigid bimini top, isinglass side curtains, and dodger (2019). There is a U-shaped seating area to port with a teak table that opens for cocktails or on-deck dining. Opposite to starboard is an L-shaped seating area with an additional teak table. Blue cushions with white piping (2019) complement the "Whisper Gray" Awlgrip house, teak trim and teak deck. There is a beverage fridge to port of the companionway and cabinet space to starboard. Aft of the cockpit area is the raised helm area with U-shaped settee around the 54" wheel. The pedestal accommodates navigational instruments, compass, engine controls with toggle controls for easy command and control of all sail handling. CABOCHON can literally be sailed by just one person without leaving the helm. Helm station completely redesigned and rebuilt in 2019 with engraved black face helm panel, new engine controls and MFDs which show engine data, generator start/stop controls, navigational electronics, wind instruments and PTO controls 



OWNER'S COCKPIT

Aft of the helm station is a private owners' cockpit, protected by a dodger with settees suitable for sunning or napping.   The transom opens into a hydraulic boarding platform with steps and swim ladder and adjacent H&C shower. Boarding via tender is a breeze.



ELECTRONICS AND NAVIGATION EQUIPMENT

HYDAULICS AND DECK EQUIPMENT

CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

The composite hull is built in a sandwich structure using Core-cell foam core and E-glass with an additional five layers of Kevlar incorporated for extra strength. The deck and pilothouse are also sandwich construction with E-glass. Centerboard configuration offers minimum draft of 6'-6" with board up and a maximum draft of 18' with board down.  



ENGINE AND MECHANICAL

Large well-laid-out engine room with easy access to all pumps, stand-up headroom around main engine. 



SAILS AND RIGGING

CABOCHON is easily sailed shorthanded with "big boat" systems such as captive winches and hydraulic furling-all sails can be deployed, trimmed, and furled by one person from the helm pedestal. Also unlike boats of her size built of steel or aluminum, her hull is fiberglass with layers of Kevlar for strength and rigidity.
