Excerpts from the original brochure

"The OFFSHORE 47, designed by one of the world's foremost Architects, A.E. Bill Luders, Jr., further exemplifies the skillmanship and capabilities of one of the world's leading yacht by The Cheoy Lee Shipyards. The OFFSHORE 47 is designed to be a fast cruising yacht is available in ketch, sloop or yawl rig.  Its construction is the result of over 90 years of yacht-building knowledge and experience utilizing the best materials, and perfected for the most rigid standards and longevity. Much more than the average racing yacht, the OFFSHORE 47 is typical of all Cheoy Lee yachts, for it's designed for performance and built for stamina on the high seas.  Performance under sail approaches that of contemporary racing machines. The strength and durability of her solid fiberglass construction is beautifully concealed above deck and below by rich Burma Teak overlays, and is constructed precisely according to Lloyd's 100A1 Specifications, the worlds highest."
