The Cheoy Lee Offshore 27, frequently recognized by its original moniker, the Newell Cadet, is a classic pocket cruiser that encapsulates the transitional era of yacht building in the 1960s. Designed by the prolific American naval architect Bill Luders and built by the renowned Cheoy Lee Shipyards in Hong Kong, the model was one of the firm's earliest forays into fiberglass construction. Despite the move to "modern" materials, the Offshore 27 retained the aesthetic soul of a wooden yacht, featuring heavy teak joinery, a full keel with a cutaway forefoot, and the elegant, sweeping lines characteristic of Luders' designs. While officially marketed as a 27-footer, its long overhangs result in a relatively short waterline, placing it firmly in the category of traditionalist coastal cruisers rather than high-volume modern yachts.
