The Clipper 36 Sailboat is a Winner! A SWEET 1971 Cheoy Lee built Bluewater Cruiser | $45k | FULL TOUR
BoatFools Nation! This week, Canadian Ken couldn’t make the trip — so his body double, the one and only Captain Alan Kew (yes, the former Captain Q himself) stepped in to help tour this beautiful 1971 Cheoy Lee Clipper 36 Ketch.
Built strong in Hong Kong at the height of Cheoy Lee’s craftsmanship, this full-keeled cruiser has aged like a fine rum. No teak decks to fuss over, but she’s got a full complement of sails, a brand-new Nanni Diesel with just 70 hours, and has been stored indoors — ready to go anywhere the wind will take her.
Designed for serious passage-making yet cozy enough for coastal cruising, the Clipper 36 delivers that perfect blend of classic style and ocean-ready capability. The Captain and I give her a thorough walk-through — and a few salty opinions along the way — so you can decide if this is a true BoatFools-approved winner.
