Distant Drummer lll is a beautifully restored CT 47 center cockpit from the design team of Kaufman and Ladd. Well known for their graceful lines and superb sailing performance, the CT 47 also features a solid fiberglass hull.
The original owner of this 2 stateroom/2 head center cockpit had a custom interior design that consisted of numerous intricately carved bulkheads and locker fronts.
The best feature of the boat is her sailing performance which combines a good turn of speed with the safety of a well built boat.
The 5 year restoration was thorough, from rewiring the boat, to replumbing to new sail, rigging, engine, canvas , upholstery, paint, electronics, bow thruster and water maker.

Distant Drummer has been fully restored by her present owner over a period of 5 years. She was brought on shore to a shop where she was basically taken down to bare bones. She was rewired and replumbed for starters then gradually each section of the interior was upgraded.
The mast and boom were taken apart, then painted with white awlgrip and put back together with new parts. She was re rigged with new wire and the chain plates were inspected at the same time. Spectra, non stretch line was used for halyards and reefing lines.
The deck was awlgripped with non skid paint to a high standard. The hull was painted in flag blue.
Next came new sails,canvas, windlass,electronics and finally a new Yanmar 56 hp diesel engine.
With the restoration nearly complete, Drummer was trucked to Florida to begin her new cruising life.
