MIST – The Cheoy Lee Offshore 40’s were promoted as a cruising yacht of high quality and construction, combining the best features of the beefy fiberglass hull with the craftsmanship evident in the exquisite teak trim, decks, and joinery work. They were also known as the Empire 40 and a variant of the Rhodes Reliant 41, all built by the same builder. Although crafted from the same basic design, the Offshores have an iron vs. a lead ballast and other differences in construction details. MIST is powered by a 40 hp Perkins 4-107 (overhauled in 2018) with an est. 1500 hours, a battened Mainsail w/cover, Furling Genoa, Spinnaker w/pole, and a Storm Jib. She is equipped with a VHS, GPS, compass, autopilot, radar, radar detector, plotter, depthsounder, and wind meter. On deck, she has a fully enclosed teak cockpit with bimini and table/cushions, aft deck, and swimming ladder. Below decks, she comfortably sleeps 5, with a V-berth forward, aft cabin, convertible settee, a nav station, and marine head. The Galley features a propane stove & oven, microwave, a new refrigerator with ice box, H/C water, and ample storage throughout. Several upgrades include new teak decks, new stanchions, lifelines, and chainplates. 

MIST is an example of a well-loved classic, built for easy handling and comfort. Survey available upon request. Call NOW to schedule a showing.

A little bit about the Cheoy Lee Shipyard:

Cheoy Lee Shipyard has been owned and operated by the same family for more than a century. They started out producing steam-powered vessels in Shanghai, China, expanded, and moved to just outside of Hong Kong in 1936. By the mid-1950’s the shipyard diversified into the production of teak sailing and motor yachts, with a focus on pleasure craft. By mid-1960's a they were known as pioneers in the development, testing and use of fiberglass construction techniques and a forerunner in the use of GRP/Foam technology. Cheoy Lee stopped building sailing yachts in 1990 to concentrate on large Motor Yachts and moved to a new purpose-built, state-of-the-art shipyard facility in mainland China.
