    Hello-
    Can anyone give me the name of a surveyor who has special expertise in Cheoy Lee sailboats? I am considering a purchase, despite some of the things I repeatedly hear about leaky decks and substandard alloys. (I have to say that based on the beautiful photos of this boat, it is difficult to imagine that it has any defects that have not been properly addressed. But as a first time buyer my own opinions are not worth much.)
    Thanks for any input.
    Ed B

    Hi,

    I have sent you a PM with the name of a guy who was fitout manager for them for 12 yrs with the name of the company he works for now.

    If you have trouble contacting him please PM me and I will give you his personal numbers.
