The Cheoy Lee 35, most commonly identified with the Arthur Robbdesigned "Lion" class and its successor, the Robb 35, represents a seminal moment in the transition from traditional wooden boatbuilding to the fiberglass era. Introduced in the early 1960s, these vessels were among the first production yachts to marry the classic, sweeping lines of a midcentury cruiserracer with the durability of Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP). The model was built in both sloop and yawl configurations, characterized by a narrow beam, a long keel with a protected rudder, and a heavy displacement that prioritizes seakindliness over modern surfing speeds. As detailed by the Cheoy Lee Association, the early "Lion" variant was initially produced in wood before Cheoy Lee pioneered the use of fiberglass hulls while retaining significant teak joinery topsides, creating a "best of both worlds" aesthetic for the 1960s sailor.
