Remarks:
Cheoy Lee built over 4500 yachts from the 1950s to the 1980s. The Offshore 44 is a serious cruising yacht with ample room for family cruising. This example has mainly cruised in the Med, although it is understood that she originally sailed from Hong Kong via the USA. A mooring, ideally located for cruising the Greek Islands and Turkey, may be available to the new owner. Currently lying ashore.
