Cheoy Lee 43 Pilothouse Motorsailer HIGHLY UPGRADED, NEW MAST, RIGGING & SAILS!

Robert Perry is renowned for designing Bluewater cruisers that feature the highest level of comfort and capability. The Cheoy Lee 43 is a superb example of his work and remains highly sought after. Designed as a serious long-range cruiser, the true Pilothouse design ensures safe, warm, and dry passages in even the most challenging conditions, whilst still retaining a full aft cockpit to enjoy when the weather permits. The full-length encapsulated lead keel provides exceptional strength and stability, and the modest 1.8m draft grants entry into remote and sheltered anchorages. This vessel is excellent example of the design and has benefited from a major refit in the last 12 months including NEW ALUMINIUM MAST AND BOOM, NEW STAINLESS STEEL STANDING RIGGING, NEW FURLERS FOR THE HEADSAIL AND STAYSAIL, NEW MAIN SAIL, GENOA, AND STAYSAIL, THE TOPSIDES PROFESSIONALLY RESPRAYED ROYAL BLUE, NEW STANCHIONS AND LIFELINES, NEW RADAR, NEW BOOM BAG WITH LAZY JACKS, AND REBUILD OF THE ENGINE AND GEARBOX. With over $100K invested into the vessel, it offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy a vessel of this pedigree with all the hard work already completed. Whether you want to fulfil even the most ambitious cruising aspirations, explore local waters with friends and family, and utilise its exceptional accommodation to enjoy the liveaboard lifestyle, this vessel can do it all in style and comfort!
