Westerly made 300 of the Discus (more than the Westerly 33 ketch that it superseded) and many of these boats can be found in the Med or cruising further afield. The Discus holds the record for the fibre glass yacht sailed furthest above the Arctic Circle (Bob Shepton on Dodo's Delight), another testament to the strength of the hull and its sea-keeping qualities. Built in two distinct versions between 1980 and 1984, with different deck mouldings, the Westerly Discus is a solid and very seaworthy cruiser. The hull continues the style of earlier Laurent Giles Westerlys, with the same distinctive bow knuckle seen on Centaurs and other smaller designs.

Broker's Comments

These boat details are subject to contract.
This Westerly Discus is worth a view. She is the right price to draw some attention. a surefooted, capable sailing boat that offers superb accommodation for a family and for those interested in passage making. New rig and mast - about £20,000 spent on mast, rig etc . However the owner has unexpectedly died and that is why the interior needs some attention. She is going to be polished and anti-fouled. Engine details are lacking - she does not have the original engine in so appears to have been re-engined at some point.
Note - Offers on the asking price may be considered.
