Broker's Comments

Incredibly, this boat was purchased brand new in 1991 and is being sold for the first time, only due to the owner's retirement from sailing. She is available now, fully equipped and only requiring the usual end of season valet to prepare her for the 2021 season. As a family boat, she is an amazing proposition, seven berths is quite possible but cosy, six would be no problem at all. All this in only twenty nine feet means that you can own a family cruiser for very modest marina/mooring fees. The aft cabin is particularly spacious and a very comfortable location to occupy when at sea. Well proven Westerly reputation for build quality sea going boats should ensure high residual value and confidence in this beauty.
Absolutely worth viewing.

Good day Steve,
Hope you are well. Just a couple of questions. How is the date of the rigging not known if only one owner from new? Also when was she last surveyed? Is there an outboard engine ? Any idea regarding shipping costs to Oban and is there a yard trolley available?
Probably more than a couple of questions.
Regards
Bil Fraser.
