Hi ‘DKT’
I see the OP wandered off after asking his question. I am also on the lookout for an owner of a
cheoy lee 52
motorsailer. If you are still there I have plenty of Q’s as Im viewing a 1980 model at the weekend.
How does it handle under sail,
motor is it a 50/50 most days or will it really sail in a blow? (can it be solo’d or with 2?) and at
anchor - is it rolly?
Have you tried folding props - do you alternate the twin engines?
Any serious issues to look for? Have you made any major mods? I know the later 53 has an upper
helm, forcing a
sloop rig. Ive also see a 52 converted for this but I like the benefits of
ketch rig for my kind of plodding.
Also - whats all that glass make it like in the heat?
Many thanks
Paul
