rugeley is on a distinguished road
i love my cheoy lee. In fact, i dare anyone to show me a thicker hull on a similar sized yacht. my wooden spars about about 75% stronger than comparable aluminum, my rigging is over-sized from the factory, put me oan a course and i'll hold it until something shoves me off, my hull is bullet (coral) proof, my shape is similar to an 18 year old cheerleader, and with a new paint job i am the envy of everyone who likes to sail in the marina. I admit to a leaky deck, but only until i removed the teak. find any dry teak deck after 30 years and you have found a prize! i could have more ballast, but i can add more ballast.
far more people talk than know.
