The Cheoy Lee Clipper 36, designed by the prolific naval architect A.E. "Bill" Luders Jr., represents a definitive era of yacht design where traditional aesthetic values met the thenemerging technology of fiberglass construction. Introduced in the late 1960s, the Clipper 36 was positioned as the midsized offering within Cheoy Lee’s highly successful Clipper series, which also included the Clipper 33, the Clipper 42, and the flagship Clipper 48. Built during a period when the Cheoy Lee Shipyard was transitioning into a global powerhouse, the 36 is easily identified by its dramatic clipper bow, trailboards, and significant teak joinery, both above and below decks. While its profile mimics the woodhulled merchant vessels of the 19th century, beneath the waterline lies a robust, handlaid fiberglass hull designed for longdistance voyaging.
