DESCRIPTION:
LookingGlass is a 2003 Cheoy Lee 61 LRC Cockpit Motor Yacht designed by
Frank Mulder. She presents as a full-displacement, long-range trawler with the
tankage, machinery, protected deck access, and the practicality of a cockpit motor
yacht that many experienced cruising buyers value.
LookingGlass features a custom layout on the Cheoy Lee 61 LRC Series, which
Cheoy Lee confirms was designed for the original commissioning owner. Unlike
the standard 61 LRC configuration, which typically included a lower helm
forward, galley aft of the helm, and an upper flybridge, LookingGlass was built
with a fully enclosed bridge arrangement. This custom design creates a noticeably
larger salon and galley, enhancing the vessel’s interior volume, comfort, and
livability.
Careful stewardship and thoughtful modernization are central to LookingGlass’s
appeal. Her interior was professionally redesigned by Yacht Interiors of Annapolis
and completed by Annapolis Harbor Boat Yard in 2020, incorporating custom
salon seating, improved storage solutions, quartz surfaces, updated heads, new
carpeting, and a modernized galley. In 2021, the helm and electronics were
substantially upgraded with a Raymarine-based navigation suite, ICOM
communications, Maretron monitoring, camera systems, FLIR, night vision, and
fuel monitoring.
Her exterior presentation further reflects an actively maintained and improved
yacht. In 2024, the California deck, cockpit, and teak top cap were restored,
including sanding, board replacement, and renewed caulking. Exterior cushions
were reupholstered, a custom folding teak table was added to the California deck,
and the Nautical Structures davit was rebuilt in 2025.
Mechanically and operationally, LookingGlass is built around the core attributes
expected of a capable long-range trawler: twin Caterpillar diesel engines, twin
Northern Lights generators, Wesmar fin stabilization, Wesmar bow and stern
thrusters, substantial fuel capacity, a watermaker, Starlink connectivity, practical
deck access, and a cockpit motor yacht layout that supports boarding, line
handling, water access, and serviceability.

Looking Glass is a distinctive Cheoy Lee 61 LRC offering a thoughtful combination of classic full-displacement long-range yacht design, substantial cruising systems and meaningful recent modernization. Her reported custom layout sets her apart from many 61 LRC examples, with the primary helm located in an enclosed bridge and the galley moved forward on the main deck, creating a more open salon and increased interior living volume.
The main deck has a warm, residential feel while preserving the traditional Cheoy Lee character. The salon, galley and heads were updated as part of a professionally designed interior refit by Yacht Interiors of Annapolis and completed by Annapolis Harbor Boat Yard. Notable interior updates include custom salon seating with under-seat storage, an extended port lounge, updated quartz surfaces, a custom bar, refreshed flooring and carpeting, and a handcrafted Kiat wood and epoxy salon table mounted on sliding tracks.
The forward galley is one of the vessel’s most notable layout features. Located where the lower helm is typically found on many standard examples, the galley helps connect the cooking, dining and main living spaces. Equipment includes induction cooking, full-size oven, dishwasher, full-size refrigerator/freezer, warming drawer, trash compactor, freezer-drawer ice maker, farmhouse sink and filtered drinking-water system.
Accommodations are arranged in a practical three-stateroom layout. The private master includes an ensuite head, updated carpeting, Samsung television and Raymarine chartplotter for navigation or anchor monitoring. The midship VIP stateroom also includes a private ensuite head and benefits from a lower-motion location. Forward, the V-berth guest stateroom provides additional sleeping space with a guest head located just outside the door.
The enclosed bridge serves as the vessel’s protected command center and was substantially modernized during a late 2020 / early 2021 helm refit. Equipment includes a Raymarine-based electronics suite with Axiom displays, Evolution autopilot, 12kW Magnum radar, Quantum 2 Doppler radar, AIS700, CHIRP sonar, RealVision 3D transducers, FLIR thermal camera, Sionyx night vision, dual ICOM VHF radios, Maretron monitoring, CCTV cameras and updated helm panels.
Exterior spaces include a covered California deck, cockpit, swim platform, foredeck and boat deck. The California deck, cockpit and top cap teak were restored in 2024 by BenchCraft Marine LLC of Annapolis, including sanding, board replacement as needed and renewed caulking. The California deck includes a custom folding teak table, while the cockpit provides lazarette access, aft system access, boarding utility and engine room access through a dogged hatch. The boat deck is equipped with a Nautical Structures HCD-1500 davit rebuilt in 2025, along with an electric grill and U-Line refrigerator. Tender is not included.
Mechanical equipment includes twin Caterpillar 3126TA diesels rated at 385 HP each, ZF 260 IV V-drive gears, twin Northern Lights 16kW generators, Racor primary fuel filtration, Tides dripless shaft seals, Reverso oil-transfer system, Marine Air / Dometic air conditioning equipment, fuel transfer equipment, freshwater and sanitation systems, Wesmar fin stabilizers, Wesmar 48V bow and stern thrusters, Hynautic hydraulic steering and related hydraulic support systems.
Electrical systems include 120/240V AC service, 12V, 24V and 48V DC equipment support, dual 125/250V 50-amp shore power inlets, shore power cords, manual shore/generator switching, ACME shore power transformers, trip-free thermal breakers, battery isolation switches, multiple battery banks, engine alternator charging, Victron 48V charging equipment, Victron 24V-to-48V converters, Charles 24V charging and Sentry 12V charging.
Safety and monitoring equipment includes stainless rails, secure side decks, enclosed bridge visibility, Type I and Type III life jackets, throwable ring, ACR GlobalFix EPIRB, Orion SOS beacon, visual distress signals, smoke / CO detectors, fixed CO2 fire suppression, portable extinguishers, bilge pumps, bilge alarms, navigation lights, ACR LED searchlight, dual trumpet horns, CCTV cameras, engine room cameras, side deck cameras, FLIR thermal imaging, Sionyx night vision and Maretron monitoring. Safety equipment dates, inspections, batteries and service intervals should be verified by the buyer during inspection and survey.
Looking Glass offers a compelling combination of long-range trawler design, protected helm operation, substantial systems, updated interior spaces, restored exterior details and a layout suited for extended time aboard. Her reported custom configuration, enclosed bridge, forward galley, three-stateroom accommodations, stabilizers, thrusters, twin generators and recent improvement history make her worthy of close review by buyers seeking a capable full-displacement cockpit motor yacht.
