1980 Cheoy Lee 35 Sedan Trawler

Boasting an impressive 1,200-mile cruising range at 7 knots, the average boating family will be hard pressed to burn through a single load of fuel in the Cheoy Lee 35 Trawler to meet their normal summer cruising needs. A sturdy, well-built boat, her upright sedan profile is accented with teak trim and includes an extended hardtop for dinghy storage and weather protection for the cockpit.

Construction is solid fiberglass with a teak overlay on the decks and cabintop. Cheoy Lee in Hong Kong built this trawler to the Lloyds 100 A1 Standards which means that she is built of the highest quality materials to very high requirements. At 21,000 pounds, Arcturus is a heavy boat for her size, and the ride is predictably soft and comfortable, even in a chop. A full-length keel protects the prop and running gear in shallow water while adding good directional stability offshore.

Wide walkways and sturdy rails on both sides of the house provide secure access to the foredeck. The galley is opposite the dinette in the compact cabin, and the forward stateroom is fitted with an angled double berth as well as a dressing table and settee. Note the stall shower in the head which is quite unusual in a smaller boat. Visibility from the lower helm is good in all directions. With a single 120hp Lehman diesel, the Cheoy Lee 35 will cruise efficiently at 7 to 8 knots.
