I have a 33 ft Cheoy Lee Offshore. I have been very pleased with her. There is a lot of work, but I still get to choose whether to spend a day on her sailing or working. There are a few leaks from the windows but I am in the process of replacing the large fixed windows with smaller oval portlights. The original teak deck had been removed, but there are no soft spots on the deck or in her hull. Her bilge stays dry. Her teak garners alot of attention from me and compliments from others. Maybe the reason I got her as cheaply as I did is in part due to all this negative publicity that Cheoy Lees receive.
I will race her in a 150 mile offshore race at the end of this month and she is taking my brother to Panama next June. My opinion is that you buy the boat for your own reasons then you have only yourself to thank or blame as the situation demands.
