Broker's Comments

Westerly Yachts have a well deserved and recognised reputation for providing robustly built boats that provide comfortable accommodation and respectable performance at sea. With recent positive reviews, even 40 years on!

The Konsort was built to provide an option greater in size than the 26' Centaur, but under 30'. The model became popular, even rivalling the larger Berwick and Longbow and became only second in sales numbers to the Centaur.

With a spacious interior, great space on deck and a large deep cockpit, this provides an ideal opportunity for those developing sailing skills, for families, or single handed cruising.

This version requires some attention to a couple of areas, inside and out to get her ready for use, such as replacing the fuel tank. The boat's sale price reflects this work. The owner reports that the engine is running and the sails are in reasonable condition. This boat would be suitable for somebody looking for a comfotable, sea kindly cruiser, who is happy and able to complete a few jobs to get this capable cruiser back at sea.

If you would like to know more or to arrange a personal viewing then please contact our office and we would be pleased to help.
