Offshore 41 Cheoy Lee

Built by the renowned Cheoy Lee Shipyard in Hong Kong starting in 1972, this handsome 41-footer represents classic offshore cruising design from the era when performance and seaworthiness took precedence over interior volume. Designer Ray Richards created a boat with traditional proportions that inspire confidence in challenging conditions, featuring a moderate beam of 12.75 feet and substantial displacement of over 21,000 pounds. The fin keel configuration with rudder on skeg provides excellent tracking and directional stability, while the generous ballast-to-displacement ratio ensures powerful self-righting capability. With a comfort ratio of 31.42, this boat delivers the motion characteristics that make long passages bearable, though some may find her a bit stiff in a seaway. The masthead sloop rig with 833 square feet of sail area offers manageable sail handling for a cruising couple, while still providing respectable performance with a hull speed of 7.64 knots. Her capsize screening value of 1.85 falls well within accepted offshore standards, reflecting the conservative design philosophy that made Cheoy Lee boats respected among serious cruising sailors. With only 100 hulls built, the Offshore 41 represents quality construction from an era when fiberglass boats were built to last generations.
