The Golden Wave 42 represents a significant departure from the traditional, heavydisplacement "teakheavy" aesthetic that defined much of Cheoy Lee’s early output. Designed by the legendary naval architect Robert Perry in the late 1970s, the Golden Wave 42 was part of a strategic move to compete with highend European performance cruisers like those from Nautor’s Swan and Baltic Yachts. Built by the Cheoy Lee Shipyard, this model was marketed under the "Golden Wave" brand to distinguish its performanceoriented pedigree from the more traditional Offshore and Clipper series. It is a true performance cruiser, blending Perry's signature "sweet" hull lines with the robust construction and exquisite joinery for which the Lo family’s shipyard is renowned.
