1980 Cheoy Lee 52 Motorsailer

This 1980 Cheoy Lee 52 Motorsailer combines the capabilities of a trawler with bluewater sailing performance in a fiberglass hull spanning 52 feet 9 inches. Twin John Deere diesel engines deliver 270 horsepower, giving her an 8-knot cruising speed suited to extended voyages. The beam of 16 feet 5 inches provides the stability and interior volume characteristic of the design.

Three cabins and two heads accommodate extended cruising. The layout supports comfortable offshore passages and the self-sufficiency required for blue-water work.

The boat has undergone substantial recent work. Twin John Deere commercial-grade engines replaced the original powerplants. New rigging, furling gear, and sails were installed. The deck and superstructure have been repainted; varnished surfaces refreshed. New stainless-steel ports and electrical wiring with updated panels address systems typical of a 1980s build. This represents a comprehensive approach to the deferred maintenance items common to yachts of this age.
