Classic 1970 Chen Boatyard Teak Ketch - Rare, Beautifully Maintained Cruiser

Offered for sale is a truly distinctive 1970 Chen Boatyard wooden ketch, a vessel that beautifully combines classic lines, traditional craftsmanship, and enduring seaworthiness.

Officially measuring 37.5 feet, this elegant yacht carries an impressive 43 feet overall with her graceful bowsprit, giving her the commanding presence and timeless profile of a classic sailing yacht.

What truly sets this boat apart is her all-teak planked construction - a remarkable feature rarely found today. Built in an era when craftsmanship came first, her rich teak hull and joinery showcase warmth, durability, and character. The boat’s traditional ketch rig adds both visual appeal and practical versatility under sail.

Lovingly cared for and thoughtfully maintained, she reflects years of attentive ownership and pride of stewardship. From her beautifully preserved woodwork to her classic deck, this is a yacht that turns heads in every harbor.

Power is provided by a dependable Beta Marine diesel engine (Model 5E2267).
