Is This the PERFECT 63' Expedition Motor Sailor? [Full Tour] Learning the Lines

When I toured the Cheoy Lee 53' motor sailor I thought that it was about as close to perfect as you were going to get. Needless to say I loved it for what it was, but this 63' version just takes everything that makes the 53' great and turns that up to 11.
I do love both versions, each being perfect for the size of group/family you might be cruising with.
What do you think?

Learning the Lines is a channel about us, an average couple in our 20's, with big dreams to be sailing the world by the time we're in our 30's. We're not afraid to jump into anything, put in the work, and learn as we go. We started out with Somnium, an O'day 272, moved onto Freebie, an Endeavour 32, and now are focusing on sailboat tours and working full time as teachers while we save up for our next boat.

I can't believe you get a boat with this nice apartment.

[@dougscott8161]

Apartment? This is more like a Condo.

[@sfopaladin2661]

@@dougscott8161 Condo?? Its a bloody townhouse with its own diesel generators. Outdoor solarium/breakfast nook and entertaining area for almost 10 people, Kate! Kate: "Yaa right Buckaroo. I bet its got its own washer/dryer & ice cream maker. As long as I can sunbath nude and its under 7 tomato's I'm in!"

[@JW-ni7gr]

Wow. Probably my favorite of all the reviews you’ve done. This is amazing.

[@johnp.chalmers415]

I have sailed aboard this extraordinary boat and can attest to her comfort and performance. The salon ceiling is 7-8 feet. She is a powerful sailor, easy to handle.

[@cherrypickerguitars]

I’m jealous! I’ve never been aboard a motor-sailor, and I think they are the ultimate vessel. It’s a lot of rigging, PLUS a serious diesel to maintain and become intimately knowledgeable of! But… I am retired - and still looking for adventure! Cheers!

[@Davidcallard]

Would love to know when you sailed on this boat and any sea tales you can remember about her! But that should be at the prerogative of the current owners before anyone else, so I don't expect an answer from you.

[@teeheeteeheeish]

Dang, that dude must be 6'3

[@kevinmencer3782]

When you say she's easy to handle, do you think one person could sail her, or do you need a crew?

[@tomelerding1399]

This is it. My favorite boat of all you have shown. Much better than any apartment I’ve ever lived in. Wow. And the condition…amazing. My very best commendations to the current owners for taking such care of her.

[@clifbradley]

I used to be a sheriff's explorer and this video is about what we would produce on a video walk through of a crime scene. Exactly what it reminds me of. Just cut and dry facts. Not saying it's bad, just very thorough and stately.

[@SGudur]

This is surely one of the best boats I have seen.. Awesome details and woodwork.. Thank you guys...

[@pierre.a.larsen]

It is nearly thirty years old, yet the design is still excellent. I would prefer this boat to most modern 60 foot sailboats. Nice!

[@billnicholson1541]

She is a beauty live aboard, world ability definately.

[@Davidcallard]

I'm 72 y.o. so she's a youngster to me! Undoubtedly in far better condition!

[@carlthor91]

Yes this is a beauty.

[@tinyb69]

Um,... 38 years old. You made me feel younger for a moment with your "nearly 30" comment. Then it hit me that my son is also a 1983 model, and he's 38. It felt good to be younger for a few moments. Thanks.

[@NinjaPigRocks]

For a vessel of it's age, it is very well presented. A credit to it's current owner.

[@tomrussell8365]

I love having the security and dependability of twin engines on a sailboat. I love being able to sail and use the wind to power a motorboat. This Chevy Lee is perfect..

[@banjonichols3063]

Wow! Beautiful Yacht. The price isn't bad for what a person is getting..Thank you.

[@kevinlytle6215]

What a nice family cruiser. 9 comfortably but 4 to 6 in such roomy comfort! Redundancy throughout and multiple protected or semi protected areas on deck for passages. Huge tender and room to store toys galore.

[@LaughterOnWater]

This was a great collab. Thanks to Kirk from Soulianis. I _love_ this boat. Just a great liveaboard and cruising boat.

[@jeffalexander544]

Hell of a lot of boat and best of both worlds to boot! Awesome boat!

[@swedishkev]

Oh my god, this is the one, I would choose, it is absolutely perfect, well made and well finished, the wood interior is just perfect. Can not fault this boat whatsoever, normally there is something we all don't like, because no boat is perfect. But you know what, this one is. Even the stairs coming into the salon, are so spacious, everything so easy on your eyes. You can see that you would feel really safe in big seas. This is like a small ship. I need to find a youtube channel with the owners of one of these beauties. Kurt did a brilliant job, on a par with your filming easily. This boat gets a rating of 120 out of 100. in my book. I think the price is too cheap. Wish I had the funds.It would be sold.

[@johnnielsen7413]

This may be the nicest boat I've ever seen. Wow.

[@keebearfull]

Great colab vid, guys! Sweet boat! Nice work, Kirk. I think this should be the Sailing Soulianis Great Lakes boat. (Plenty of room for the growing fam.)

[@daniellehendriks5992]

What s gorgeous boat. You could live comfortably with your family with at least 3 children. Everything is like new and not 30 years old. But that's what you pay for I guess. Lot's of love from the Netherlands, Daniëlle 🙋

[@Drifter6942]

I could call that Home !! Very nice layout, looks like it can be sailed single handedly which is what I would want. The price is way less than what I thought it would be. If I had the money, I would buy that in a heartbeat !!

[@bdphourde]

I really liked this boat! I probably would have bought it if Kirk had just showed me the anchor locker from the forward stateroom! This would be the natural upgrade boat for me from my Catalina 24. ;) Full disclosure - I am not going to be able to afford either of these beautiful Cheoy Lees in this lifetime! When younger, none of the Cheoy Lees I saw in the '80s were what I would call top quality boats, or at least as I see them now. Of course I wasn't looking at any this big! But it is sure nice to imagine me sailing one of these and having room to take friends and family sailing with me. I don't really have either, but if I had this boat, I would soon have more than I could imagine of both! Please feel free to continue teasing me with that unreachable carrot. Tell Kirk he did a great job for you. If you run across any Macgregor 65s, I would be interested in seeing what they look like in a video.

[@michaelhicks8867]

Your vudeographer did a great job maintaining the calm, thorough description of the boat maintaining your look and feel trademark style. Well done. What a fabulous boat ! Love it.

It’s not that expensive! The price is very affordable for her excellent quality. She will take you anywhere in the world!

[@icephoenix418]

@@milasgardenessentialoils6210 it's nearly three quarters of a million dollars. What's affordable to you, may not be to another. It's dependent upon someone's means. It seems Karen is well aware of the value, but simply stated, she can't pay for it. Hence she can't bear the cost. I can't afford it either. I'm glad you have the means to pay for it and find it affordable. That's great! Fair winds and following seas to you.

It is perfect blue water boat. ,makes me want to leave for the Caribbean on that boat.

[@HeatherSpoonheim]

I love it when you can WALK into the engine ROOM, rather than lifting some floor hatches to access the engine. Also I notice a small door in the one shower that opens into the engine room where they have a fan - I guess to get some good airflow through that engine room.

[@garybaker6333]

Lovely aft cabin!

[@teeheeteeheeish]

Obviously 63' is huge, but this feels like a 100 footer. Extraordinary quality and design. Overbuilt to the maximum and built to last until the end of time. Ketch rigging is the right call for this type of ship. Obviously never in my price range, but 695k is incredibly reasonable, especially as a very livable yacht.

First of all, an 10 plus boat (ship). Just curious about the covered rub rails. They look like it would take some time to put them on and off. When do you cover them ( a storm, when leaving for a long time, etc.)? I imagine when on the boat, you want to show them off and enjoy their beauty.

[@angelcathairs]

great tour thank you. what kind of engines are they? are they diesel powered? do you know the capacity of the fuel tanks? thanks!

[@nerblebun]

This particular lady is a Schooner Rigged Ketch. She's got two head sails, and the mizzen mast, which mistakenly called the aft mast, is located forward of the rudder head. If the mizzen mast were placed aft the rudder head, she'd be Yawl. On a Ketch the mizzen's sail is actually a "drive" sail, while on a Yawl the mizzen sail (tape-cul) is for balance. There's no mortification being a canvas short of a full sail when identifying subtle differences of sailing rigs, after all young mate... you're still learning the lines. In the future, it would be advantageous for viewers to cover technical aspects of this beautiful lady..... sail condition, range under power, fuel consumption, size of fuel tanks, fresh water making gal. per day, generator Kw, ect. Everything important for long range cruising.

[@sailorpete136]

It is not a schooner rig.

[@nerblebun]

@@sailorpete136: Two forestay's, two head sails landlubber.

I think you missed the part where the mizzen mast is shorter than the main mast, thus, making this a Ketch rigged Cutter.

[@oversitesurveys6939]

Please, please, please - it’s a saloon, NOT a salon. A salon is the place you go for hair and beauty stuff. It grates every time I hear this!! Learning the Lines should know the correct terminology. Your tours, which I thoroughly enjoy, would go up to a whole new level (and be taken more seriously by potential buyers) if you took a tip from your title! Love you guys - just trying to help you get even better.

[@gglen2141]

Except it isn't. A salon (suh-lawn) is indeed a hairdressers, but it is also the cabin area of a boat or yacht devoted to seated relaxation, often combined with a dining table. A saloon (sah-loon) is where cowboys go to drink.

[@oversitesurveys6939]

@@gglen2141 I guess it depends on the dictionary you use. And the country you come from. Here in the UK it is more conventional among the boating community to use the word saloon. I’m 70 and been involved in sailing for most of my adult life. No worries - great channel and I enjoy the boat tours.
