1985 CHEOY LEE 47

The Cheoy Lee 47 stands as one of the most respected bluewater cruising yachts ever built, and this 1985 example presents a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine ocean-capable vessel in the breathtaking Bay of Islands. Cheoy Lee's Hong Kong pedigree is legendary - their yachts were constructed to exacting standards, combining robust fibreglass construction with traditional craftsmanship that has seen countless examples circumnavigate the globe. Stretching 14.32 metres on the waterline with a generous 4.2-metre beam and a purposeful 2-metre draft, this monohull offers the stability, interior volume and sea-keeping ability that bluewater sailors demand. The 2-cabin layout provides comfortable offshore accommodation for couples or small crews undertaking extended passages, with the Bay of Islands serving as the perfect launchpad for Pacific adventures. Whether you're planning a trans-Tasman crossing, a Pacific Island circuit or simply exploring New Zealand's spectacular cruising grounds, the Cheoy Lee 47 has the pedigree and the build quality to deliver with confidence. Offered at NZD $235,000, this is blue-chip cruising at a compelling price point. Inspect by appointment.
