Classic Bluewater Pedigree Meets Modern Reliability

Step aboard this beautiful 1972 Cheoy Lee Offshore 41, a legendary bluewater cruiser designed by Raymond H. Richards. Built by the renowned Cheoy Lee Shipyard, this heavy-displacement vessel is celebrated for her sea-kindly motion, incredibly solid hand-laid fiberglass hull, and modified fin keel with a protected skeg-hung rudder. She is built to cross oceans safely and comfortably.

This particular Offshore 41 stands out from the rest of the market due to several high-value, critical upgrades that make her truly turn-key and ready for her next adventure. She is comprehensively rigged and set up for safe, easy single-handed sailing, making her an ideal choice for solo sailors or short-handed couples.
