The Cheoy Lee Offshore 53 MS (Motorsailer) represents a pinnacle of the "heavy cruiser" era, emerging from a collaboration between the legendary Robert Perry and the prolific Lo family of Cheoy Lee Shipyard. Introduced in the late 1970s and produced into the 1980s, this vessel was designed to bridge the gap between a pure sailing yacht and a long-range trawler. Built on a hull shared with the Offshore 53 sailing version, the "MS" variant is distinguished by its substantial deckhouse, dual helm stations, and a significantly larger engine package, typically featuring power plants in the 120hp to 200hp range. It was engineered for the owner who prioritizes climate-controlled passage-making and the ability to maintain hull speed regardless of wind direction, all while retaining the steadying influence and redundancy of a ketch rig.
