Description
It is interesting to see that Phoenix is the only Cheoy Lee built Vertue that we have come across so far with the proper terminations, for’d and aft, for her thickened sheerstrake.
Phoenix looks to be a really outstanding boat, complete with laid teak decks. In a Cheoy Lee website page from some years ago she was listed as being owned by Ron Geisman who based her at Dana Point in southern California. She had previously been based up Port Angeles, WA.
Ron has recently been in touch with some new photographs showing how smart she is now after a real deep refit in Oceanside marina, California.
