1978 Cheoy Lee Offshore 41 Sloop

This 1978 Cheoy Lee Offshore 41 is a Ray Richards-designed sloop built in the Hong Kong shipyard. One of only 100 ever constructed, it combines robust fiberglass construction with a fin keel and skeg-hung rudder design for strength and directional stability. The boat carries teak decks noted to be in exceptional condition, along with teak joinery throughout the interior. Rigged as a sloop with seven sails, it offers balanced performance under canvas with moderate displacement and a sea-kindly motion suited to both local and offshore sailing.

The interior features a traditional layout centered on practicality and comfort. The main stateroom occupies the aft starboard position with good ventilation, while the galley sits to port with ample counter space and storage. A V-berth forward is presently configured for sail and gear storage but can be converted to a sleeping berth. A dedicated navigation station and generous main salon complete the accommodations. Throughout the boat, storage is abundant with deep lockers and cabinetry designed to support extended cruising or full-time living aboard.

Powered by a single Perkins diesel engine of 50 horsepower, the boat measures 41 feet in length with a 12.75-foot beam. Additional equipment includes solar panels, an inverter, a wind charger, a water maker, and a full canvas enclosure. Electronics are minimal, allowing the next owner to outfit systems to their preferences. The sails and rigging are serviceable for protected waters; a full inspection is recommended prior to offshore use.
