Is This the PERFECT 63' Expedition Motor Sailor? [Full Tour] Learning the Lines

  • When I toured the Cheoy Lee 53' motor sailor I thought that it was about as close to perfect as you were going to get. Needless to say I loved it for what it was, but this 63' version just takes everything that makes the 53' great and turns that up to 11.
    I do love both versions, each being perfect for the size of group/family you might be cruising with.
    What do you think?

    Learning the Lines is a channel about us, an average couple in our 20's, with big dreams to be sailing the world by the time we're in our 30's. We're not afraid to jump into anything, put in the work, and learn as we go. We started out with Somnium, an O'day 272, moved onto Freebie, an Endeavour 32, and now are focusing on sailboat tours and working full time as teachers while we save up for our next boat.

      I’m jealous! I’ve never been aboard a motor-sailor, and I think they are the ultimate vessel. It’s a lot of rigging, PLUS a serious diesel to maintain and become intimately knowledgeable of!
      But… I am retired - and still looking for adventure!

It seems Karen is well aware of the value, but simply stated, she can't pay for it. Hence she can't bear the cost. I can't afford it either.

    I am old enough to recall seeing the Cheoy Lee motor sailors when they were new on the boat show circuits. They were, and still are very nice, very solidly built boats. I would be all over this one if I had the money. A solid, quality build never goes out of style.
    This one appears to be well maintained but even one that hasn't been well maintained is worth putting the money into for a solid refit and there aren't a lot of older GRP boats you can say that about. These have a timeless design and a solid build quality. You would be hard pressed to find that in a new boat. Even if you had to put significant money into one, you would have something really special when it was done.
    This one appears to be pretty much ready to go at a fraction of the cost of a new boat. Like I said, if I had the money, I would be all over this one. I would have been on the phone to surveyors before the end of the video.

    I really liked this boat! I probably would have bought it if Kirk had just showed me the anchor locker from the forward stateroom! This would be the natural upgrade boat for me from my Catalina 24. ;)
    Full disclosure - I am not going to be able to afford either of these beautiful Cheoy Lees in this lifetime! When younger, none of the Cheoy Lees I saw in the '80s were what I would call top quality boats, or at least as I see them now. Of course I wasn't looking at any this big! But it is sure nice to imagine me sailing one of these and having room to take friends and family sailing with me. I don't really have either, but if I had this boat, I would soon have more than I could imagine of both! Please feel free to continue teasing me with that unreachable carrot. Tell Kirk he did a great job for you.
    If you run across any Macgregor 65s, I would be interested in seeing what they look like in a video.

Can not fault this boat whatsoever, normally there is something we all don't like, because no boat is perfect. But you know what, this one is. Even the stairs coming into the salon, are so spacious, everything so easy on your eyes. You can see that you would feel really safe in big seas. This is like a small ship. I need to find a youtube channel with the owners of one of these beauties. Kurt did a brilliant job, on a par with your filming easily. This boat gets a rating of 120 out of 100. in my book. I think the price is too cheap. Wish I had the funds.It would be sold.

    Not a big fan of in-mast furling, but other than that this is an excellent boat for a small charter operation, educational/research expeditions (though not really set up for remote, high-latitude passages) or even for a big family to live aboard part of the year. I'd take this over most anything newer except maybe an Amel 55 ketch. Great tour of a polished gem.
