The Cheoy Lee Flying Buffalo 36 represents a distinctive departure from the heavy-displacement, full-keel cruisers typically associated with the Hong Kong builder during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Designed by Maury DeClercq, the Flying Buffalo was born from the success of a wooden namesake—a one-off design that famously dominated the Great Lakes racing circuit, including an overall victory in the 1967 Bayview Mackinac Race. Recognizing the potential for a production performance cruiser, Cheoy Lee transitioned the design to fiberglass, blending DeClercq’s competitive hull form with the shipyard’s signature teak-heavy craftsmanship. Unlike the traditional clipper bows and long keels of the Luders or Robb designs, the Flying Buffalo 36 was engineered for speed, featuring a shorter fin keel and a detached spade rudder, which was a progressive configuration for a production boat of that era.
