Broker's Comments
Designed by Laurent Giles, and introduced in 1972, the Westerly Longbow is a solid coastal or offshore cruiser, built like all Westerlys of the period, to Lloyds specification and fitted out as a spacious family boat
Although the same hull was used by other models, to me the Longbow with her fin keel, ketch rig and aft cockpit seems to have eliminated most of the compromises you are usually faced with when deciding on a cruising boat. They are known to sail well and are easily single-handed with a sail plan option for all conditions. The interior is light, spacious and extremely practical for both sailing and for liveaboard purposes.
This particular example has been cared for, maintained and been the subject of some updates throughout her life.
Now ashore for the winter, all she needs is to be rigges and she is all ready for the new season.
An insurance survey report will be available in the next few weeks.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
