Built by Hong Kong's renowned Cheoy Lee Shipyard from 1956, this classic 25-footer represents the golden era of traditional yacht construction. Designer Tord Sunden created a quintessential cruising sailboat with timeless proportions and robust build quality that has earned respect among blue-water sailors for decades. The Pacific Clipper's long keel configuration with transom-hung rudder provides exceptional directional stability and comfortable motion in seaways, making it well-suited for coastal cruising and short offshore passages. With a displacement of 5,500 pounds and generous ballast ratio, this substantial little yacht tracks beautifully and handles heavy weather with confidence. The comfort ratio of 29.13 confirms its seakindly nature, while the conservative capsize screening value reflects excellent stability characteristics. Constructed entirely of teak by master craftsmen, these boats showcase the exceptional woodworking skills Cheoy Lee was famous for during this period. The fractional sloop rig is easily managed by a small crew, and the 19.5-foot waterline provides surprising interior volume for extended cruising. With only 50 hulls produced, the Pacific Clipper remains a rare find that appeals to traditionalists seeking a well-built, go-anywhere cruiser with genuine character and proven seaworthiness.
