Broker's Comments

The bilge keeled Westerly Merlin is prime example of a sound cruising yacht designed with British waters in mind. With two cabins, aft and fore she provides space and comfort for up to six adults while cruising.
Built in 1987, she is has been carefully maintained. You’ll find her clean, attractive and comfortable for cruising. With a little attention to the decking and cabin head linings she’ll be a pride and joy for years to come.
