This is a very light and open boat with great space and plenty of storage options.

Stepping through the companion way the galley is to starboard. This comes with a 2 burner stove with grill & oven and has a fold down counter top that increases the work space when the cooker is not in use. There is also a sink with the original pump but an upgraded tap. Cool box is accessible by lifting off the counter top.

The saloon is a brilliant space that is very well presented. L shaped seating to port with a quarter berth that has a navigation station on rollers. Around the back of the seating is plenty of storage space. Further seating is starboard which can be used as a single berth. The saloon table is originally the cockpit table, however the original table is still available, they removed this to create more space in the saloon.

Going forward you have the head to port that is on a manual Lavac system with further storage/wardrobe to starboard. The forepeak is a typical V berth with an infill. Although not a huge space the berth itself is plenty big enough for a comfortable night with 2 adults.

Broker's Comments

This Westerly Longbow is in really good condition throughout and has been well maintained. She’s a great size and utilises her space very effectively.

The rig and sails seem to be in an OK condition although are over 10 years old, however, a service on the sails last year do show that they do have life left in them.

This is a really great cruiser and being a Westerly does give peace of mind that you’re on a safe and solid vessel. Viewing is highly recommended.
