1968 Cheoy Lee Herreshoff 31 Offshore Ketch

This 1968 Cheoy Lee Offshore is a 31-foot fiberglass ketch whose design draws from the respected Herreshoff H-28. The boat has remained in the same family for three decades and displays well-maintained spars and sound overall condition. It carries a ketch rig with a furling headsail, genoa, main, and several earlier hanked-on jibs plus a drifter sail. The chainplates have been refastened and the decks renovated.

Below deck, the interior makes clever use of cabin space with good storage throughout. The boat features a classic cabin wood stove, recent batteries with solar charging, and updated wiring and circuit panel. The head and holding tank are recent installations, and bilge pumps have been serviced. A stereo is fitted, and cockpit cushions are included.

Power comes from a Yanmar 3GM30 diesel installed in 2005. The engine compartment is easily accessed, with a Racor filter and shaft seal maintained. This is a capable and straightforward cruiser, offering reliable offshore capability with reasonable running and maintenance costs.
