When I first started sailing, rather more than a few years ago, the Westerly Konsort was pretty much the boat I aspired to own. I recall being impressed by how solid and reassuring a boat less than 30? long could be, and how roomy and comfortable it seemed below decks. Time has not diminished those fond feelings. The enviable virtues are still present: the decks are wide and the boat feels weighty and solid underfoot. Inside there are comfortable bunks and a good split between accommodation and storage. The Konsort was Westerly?s second most popular boat, after the Centaur, and it?s easy to see why. The trick these days is to find a nice example, and here I think we have a good one. She is a rarer fin-keeled example, which is much sought-after for the improved sailing performance. Her instrumentation could use some updating perhaps, and there is room for some varnishing, but overall she appears to be in good order. It?s clear that she has been sailed long distances and is set up for serious passage making. You just have to see the mast steps, lee cloths and cargo nets to know that. There are even latches on the bottle store in the table to prevent the precious liquid being lost in the (admittedly unlikely) event of a capsize! She has been re-engined, re-upholstered and re-cookered, by the look of it, and there is a cosy stove in the saloon. The bilge is clean and dry. She has been regularly maintained, and everything looks set up just right. Those fond memories keep coming back! These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
