Offshore 36 Cheoy Lee

Built from 1966 by Hong Kong's respected Cheoy Lee Shipyard, this Maurice Declercq-designed cruiser represents classic 1960s offshore sailing philosophy. With nearly 16,000 pounds of displacement and a substantial 4,700-pound ballast ratio, the Offshore 36 delivers the stability and seaworthiness that made Cheoy Lee's reputation during the golden age of fiberglass yacht construction. The masthead sloop rig and fin keel configuration provide a good balance of performance and comfort for extended cruising. At 35.83 feet overall with a 25.58-foot waterline, she offers respectable accommodations while maintaining manageable size for a cruising couple. The moderate 546 square feet of sail area generates sufficient power without being overwhelming, while the hull's traditional proportions suggest gentle motion in seaways. Her comfort ratio of 40.05 indicates excellent stability for offshore passages, while the capsize screening value of 1.59 falls well within accepted standards for ocean sailing. The 6.78-knot theoretical hull speed reflects her displacement nature—this isn't a speed demon, but rather a steady, reliable passage-maker built for covering miles safely. Cheoy Lee's solid fiberglass construction and attention to detail during this era earned these boats a following among serious cruisers seeking proven offshore capability.
