SV Rangoon Lady III is a long keel, center cockpit, masthead ketch berthed in Titusville, FL. She was designed by the office of the famed naval architect John G. Alden, and built at the Cheoy Lee Boatyard in Hong Kong. This is a true blue-water vessel, having crossed the Atlantic Ocean four times, including being part of the Columbus Quincentenary, the event commemorating the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ Atlantic crossing.
Rangoon Lady III also sailed the Caribbean and cruised the Bahamas. Her current owners spent several months from December 2021 to May 2022 doing a partial refit, completing necessary mechanical work and updates, with the intent to sail her to Washington State. They had planned to complete the necessary cosmetic work once she was in her berth on the Pacific coast. Their plans changed, and they have put this center-cockpit ketch on the market.

More Details
1975 Cheoy Lee Offshore 53 MS Hull, Deck, & Cockpit
Hull: Rangoon Lady III has a full displacement hull, with a molded full keel. The hull was painted blue in June 2022, when the vessel was hauled for a complete bottom painting. The bottom was sand-blasted before the new barrier and anti-fouling paint coats were applied. Deck: The teak decks were removed and replaced with non-skid fiberglass decks in 2010. The toe rail is teak; the stanchions are stainless steel; the cable lifelines are vinyl coated. There are six 12” cleats throughout the deck. The bow pulpit was fully replaced in 2014 with a stainless steel anchor platform with a double roller assembly. The stern pulpit has stainless steel stanchions and rail system, with a mounting pad for an outboard motor. There is a stainless steel manual davit system for the tender. Cockpit: The raised center cockpit features a hard dodger with aluminum rails and a soft-top full enclosure (2022). The non-skid fiberglass sole has removable teak grating. There is cushioned seating around the fiberglass podium helm station. A sliding door opens directly to the accommodations below.
