(Note: 3/10/09. I will be adding more information on all models as I upload each brochure. And for anyone with any additional information on any of these boats, now's the time to get it to me!) |

| Few yachts are better designed for cruising than the
Cheoy Lee 40 Long Range Cruiser. From flybridge to keel, she has many
design features that provide practical cruising pleasure. The flybridge
offers the helmsman an unobstructive view. Teak decks on the bridge and
the wide side deck provide not only beauty but sure footing as well. The
Cheoy Lee 40 LRC's displacement and fuel and water capacities show you get more
real boat than others advertised to be close to the same size. She
carries 710 gallons of diesel and over 600 gallons of fresh water. These
capacities provide the boat with a range of 1,500 miles at 9 knots and over
2,500 miles at 7.5 knots. The deep forefoot and fine bow entry together
with its long deep keel and a displacement hull make her sea-keeping qualities
unequalled in a boat this size. An owner written article in 10/1978 issue
of Motor Boating & Sailing described how a Cheoy Lee 40 LRC completed a
20,000 mile voyage from Hong Kong to Florida, crossing on its way the Sough
China Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and
the Caribbean. (Anyone out there have a copy of this
article?) http://lastexitnj.wordpress.com |
