The Westerly Longbow is the fin-keel sloop-rigged aft-cockpit variant of the same 31 ft hull used in several Westerly models. The accommodation was considered huge for a 31 foot boat when introduced, and is still spacious. Sailing performance is very good.

Broker's Comments

These boat details are subject to contract.
Designed by Laurent Giles, and introduced in 1972, the Westerly Longbow is a solid fin keel cruiser. The same hull moulding was also used with a centre cockpit deck to produce ketch-rigged versions. Over a thousand of the various versions were produced, of which about 260 were Longbows. As with all Westerlys of the period, they were built to Lloyds specifications which meant that the building processes were rigorously monitored and all materials had to be approved by Lloyds in order that a certificate could be issued. This vessel looks like she has been well kept by the current owner in the last 15 years who has kept her ashore every winter, replaced the engine in 2004 & there are certainly no problems with the headlinings as you will see from the photos. If this is the type & price of boat your after she is certainly worth a look.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

This Westerly Longbow has been personally photographed and viewed by Jamie Nash of Boatshed Medway. Click here for contact details.
