1982 CHEO LEE 44' Stay Sail
Cutter
Robert Perry design
Complete
refit.
Boat was purchased in 2010 by
current owner, a retired
marine industry professional with extensive experience in custom yacht construction and
refit. After an exhaustive search for the perfect cruising boat in the mid 40’ range capable of being handled by a
single person the conclusion was reached that it would be necessary to spend in the vicinity of $500,000 U.S. to
purchase a used vessel in order to meet the requirements. It was then determined to
purchase the best available
hull and
deck and do a complete refit/rebuild in order to create a vessel that would meet the requirements. The Robert Perry designed
Cheoy Lee met the standard for solid build quality, and
classic looks along with a well found
hull shape and excellent sailing characteristics . The boat originally had no
equipment other than a
battery charger,
vhf radio, and manual flush toilets. All other systems were original to 1982. The parameters for the total refit were to use the best available materials, and
equipment regardless of cost. No timeline or
budget was established, therefore no restrictions as to expense. All
interior construction
work was performed by the owner and a mega-yacht refit specialist to very high standards. The results of this
project are a perfect
live aboard, world cruising capable sailing yacht with a
classic look and modern reliable systems at a fraction of the cost of a new vessel. The amount of time that went into this
project cannot be quantified, and luckily it was a labour of love as the
total cost of the project will never be recovered at a reasonable
sale price.
Now equipped as the perfect world cruising boat for a couple with occasional guests, she represents an excellent opportunity to purchase a vessel that is ready to go now without the need for updating or extensive
work to bring it
current with endless hours of improvements. One look at the long list of current equipment,
electronics,
sails and
rigging and a potential buyer in the market for a vessel in this size range will instantly recognize the incredible value of this modernized classic.
