The 29’ Konsort was Westerly’s most popular design, after the ubiquitous Centaur. Solid and spacious, she is a capable and generous cruiser for her length. In the Duo, Westerly built on the Konsort’s inherent virtues and added a few more. The result is deck saloon, or wheel house, cruiser that packs in an astonishing amount of refinements that transform her adaptability and practical usefulness. She retains the ability to be sailed from the cockpit, with a folding tiller and transom-hung rudder maximising cockpit space. When the weather gets less pleasant she can be sailed or motored from indoors, where there are dual engine controls and a beautiful varnished ship’s wheel with hydraulic couplings. Big windows all round allow a good watch to be maintained. Two large hatches in the roof allow light to flood in and permit an eye to be kept on sail trim from inside. Unlike some other small deck-saloons, the Duo has wide side decks. These, together with the way the various structures such as cockpit seats, coamings, side decks and coach roof have been designed, allow you to move all over the boat with confidence. Step-ups are all at the right height and there are hand-holds every where you need them. This boat is well equipped with twin station auto-pilot controls and radar. Inside, the clever design continues. Headroom is plentiful throughout. There is a roomy fore-cabin with an offset double berth and a roomy locker almost big enough to call a wardrobe. The heads are bright and roomy. In the wheelhouse there is a long linear galley with tons of storage, including the trademark Westerly crockery storage. There are many other nice touches. I particularly liked the discreet red light placed at floor-level in the wheelhouse to provide vision-friendly safety illumination when travelling at night. The helm seats double up as part of the dinette seating arrangement, which in turn converts into a second double berth. A cosy pilot berth tucked away on the port side completes sleeping accommodation for five. The general condition inside and out is very good and varnish abounds, with only the exterior of the wheelhouse doors requiring a re-coat. There is shore-power and diesel heating, in fact pretty much all you need. This is a much-loved and well-maintained vessel and only reluctantly for sale as the owner lacks the opportunity to use her as much as she deserves and he would wish. Anyone in the market for a Duo will be hard pressed to find a superior example.These boat details are subject to contract.
