Long distance cruising with our
beautiful Philip Rhodes Cheoy Lee, one of the few still original
live onboards. Currently in the Med but ready to take on the world
for her second circumnavigation...!
The Alondra of London, an 60 ft aft
cockpit sloop was designed by the world famous Philip Rhodes,
completed in 1965 , totally teak(!) by famous yacht builder Cheoy
Lee in Hong Kong
She was built for an American entrepreneur who used her for many
regatta’s in the US, Antigua and Caribbean waters. Today, after 40
years and circumnavigating the world twice she has not lost any of
her original splendor and with her gracious lines she belongs even
now to the most beautifully sailing yachts ever built.
