The Design

When Cheoy Lee Shipyards commissioned renowned Naval architect, Charles Wittholz to design the Wittholz 53, the prerequisites demanded exceptional performance, ease of handling combined with the maximum degree of structural strength. It was further specified that the hull integrity be combined with the basic elements inherent in all Cheoy Lee sailing yachts' grace and beauty. The result of Cheoy Lee's rigorous requirements and the expertise of Charles Wittholz has forged a graceful and responsive yacht that is quick and dry, and embodies every luxurious appointment and every convenience available.

The Performance

Carrying 1300 square feet of working sail area in the cutter and sloop rig, the Wittholz is capable of easy cruising at 8.5 to 9 knots. Under power with a standard 80 HP engine, the Wittholz is capable of speeds of 8 1/4 knots and can cruise for 500 nautical miles on 200 gallons of fuel....

I bought the boat last spring from the widow of the original owner, Ted VonVoightlander from Ann Arbor, MI. Ted had it built and shipped in 1983. The boat has never been out of the Great Lakes and was in good condition, save for a couple of popped tapes on cabinetry in the forward cabin.
