Cheoy Lee 30 ketch |
Brief details |

Cheoy Lee Shipyard, Hong Kong |
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. |

From the 1950s to the 80s the Cheoy
Lee Shipyard of Hong Kong built a range of production
sailing cruisers from 24 ft to 50 feet in length, most
of moderate to heavy displacement. Many early boats were of timber, often teak, but Cheoy Lee soon progressed to GRP construction, though always with lots of teak timberwork.
Cheoy Lee built a huge variety of designs, some by well known designers such as Alden, Laurent Giles, Sparkman & Stephens, etc., as well as producing many other models in-house. To confuse matters further, virtually identical boats were sometimes marketed under different names. The Cheoy Lee 30 hull looks very like a stretched version of their Offshore 27 design, by the American designer Taylor Newell. |
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 |
