Broker's Comments

A lovely original example of this quality marque. Although predominantly a cruising boat she was Westerly's second design from the more performance-orientated board of Ed Dubois. A good all-round family cruising boat with comfortable accomodation and good sea manners. Book your viewing now as she will not be around for long.
