Yachtsnet's archive of boat details and pictures
 

The following information and photographs are displayed as a service to anyone researching yacht types. Details and photographs are normally based on one specific yacht, but could be a compilation. No reliance should be placed on other yachts of the same class being identical.  Where common variations exist, we have endeavoured to indicate this in these archive details.  The price guide covers the normal ranges of age and condition. Exceptional boats, whether good or bad, may fall outside these guidelines.

Brief details

LWL 23' 6" Rig ketch

A very traditional long keel moderate to heavy displacement GRP cruising ketch from Cheoy Lee of Hong Kong. Built in the early years of GRP, she has a completely GRP hull and superstructure, but with extensive decorative teak cladding externally, as well as an interior in teak. These yachts were built both in Cheoy Lee's own yard in Hong Kong, and later in Thailand.

Draught 4' 4" Berths 4
Displacement 11,500 lbs approx Engine Volvo Penta MD2 diesel
Ballast not known BHP 15
Keel type Long fin keel with encapsulated ballast

From the 1950s to the 80s the Cheoy Lee Shipyard of Hong Kong built a range of GRP production sailing cruisers from 24 ft to 50 feet in length, most of moderate to heavy displacement. Although called a Cheoy Lee 30, the overall length of this ketch is actually 31' 6". The GRP hull has encapsulated ballast of iron, set in concrete, and glassed over. The coachroof sides are teak-sheathed over the GRP structure, and the decks are laid teak

The saloon has two settee berths, with a saloon table which folds out from the forward bulkhead when required. There is a separate heads compartment between saloon and two-berth vee/double forecabin

The galley is to port by the companionway, and consists of a unit with fold-out covers to reveal the gimbaled cooker.

 

The opening hatch on the cockpit bulkhead is one of the two openings to a large insulated built in icebox - the other access being a lifting hatch in the cockpit seat. This arrangement is virtually standard on all Cheoy Lees - which were built in the tropics where easy access to cold beer was seen as a priority. The anchor-shaped cutouts on locker fronts is also a Cheoy Lee speciality

The Volvo MD2 in this yacht is almost certainly the original engine

The mainmast on this yacht is fitted with an add-on in-mast reefing gear. The winches are also definitely not original, whilst the mast itself could well have originally been timber.
