[Chris Byer]

In answer to Jeff.  "Champion" is not a 47' Cheoy Lee Seamaster.  She is 53'.  Her listing can be viewed at:

She is a circumnavigator, with a good set of paravanes, and mentioned in Beebe's "Voyaging Under Power."  If memory serves me correctly, the original of this design was named "Feng Shui" and was built of Teak.  Fess Parker kept an example of this design in Santa Barbara.  These boats were unique in that their engine was located towards the bow, with the engine exhausting through the forward mast.
