56' CT 56

Siri is a truly extraordinary yacht and represents a rare opportunity to acquire the last CT 56 ever built. Designed by renowned naval architect Robert Perry and constructed by Ta Chiao Shipbuilding in Taiwan, the CT 56 has long been respected as one of the finest bluewater cruising yachts of her era. With her powerful long-keel hull, heavy-displacement design, and classic ketch rig, the CT 56 was created for sailors seeking comfort, safety, and confidence on extended offshore passages. At 55'6" overall with a 15'6" beam and displacement exceeding 61,000 pounds, Siri possesses the size, stability, and carrying capacity required for serious world cruising.

Unlike many yachts of similar vintage, Siri has benefited from a lifetime of careful ownership, continuous upgrades, and substantial investment. Her most significant transformation came during an extensive refit completed in 2019, which modernized virtually every major system while preserving the timeless character and craftsmanship that make these yachts so admired.

The 2019 refit included a complete B&G Zeus electronics package, new Doyle sails, new standing and running rigging, a Stars & Stripes Blue Awlgrip hull finish, a Fusion marine entertainment system, new mattresses throughout, and a new 11-foot Walker Bay Super Tender paired with a 30hp Tohatsu outboard. During the refit, both the main and mizzen masts were removed, inspected, repainted, and professionally re-stepped, with fittings renewed as required. The result is a yacht that combines classic bluewater pedigree with the reliability and functionality expected by today's cruising sailors.

Recent upgrades continue that commitment to excellence and include a Spectra watermaker, Splendide washer/dryer, three Raritan Elegance electric heads with fresh- and raw-water flushing capability, and a completely renewed house battery bank consisting of four new 8D AGM batteries installed in 2025.
