OWNERS COMMENTS
"Mea" is a wonderful example of these lovely classic yachts. Built of the best materials and maintained by her various owners at at a high standard. Her decks were renewed in marine ply and epoxy in 1993, she was professionally surveyed in 2003 when purchased by her present owners and various small repairs have been carried out since. Her present owner have replaced the engine with a new Beta 9hp twin cylinder diesel which has run for around 330 hours. The boat is full of history, in previous ownership she has sailed from Hong Kong to the UK and twice sailed the Atlantic. A fantastic opportunity to acquire one of these rare "Ocean" Cheoy Lee Vertues.
