Seaworthy - and the crucial issues already taken care of. This Westerly Longbow 31 combines what rarely comes together: CE category A (ocean-worthy), only one previous owner and a documented refit in which the typical weak points have already been addressed.
The biggest difference is below the waterline: the lower hull was completely overhauled in 2022 - with a warranty until August 2029. For you, this means that one of the most cost- and risk-intensive issues with older yachts is secured for the long term.
Targeted investments were also made on board: The wet cell has been completely renewed (incl. electric toilet and holding tank), boiler, pressurized water pump and hoses new, sails replaced, new cake stand manufactured in September 2023. You are not taking on a project here, but a boat for which central work has already been completed.
Propulsion is provided by a Yanmar 3YM30 (27 hp), serviced in 2024 - a proven, low-maintenance engine with very good spare parts availability. The equipment is clearly designed for longer cruises: Self-steering system, radar, chart plotter, electric anchor winch, solar panels and 220V shore connection.
Laurent Giles' design with around 45 % of ballast provides the stability you would expect from a real cruising yacht - especially on the course and in more demanding conditions.
In short: an ocean-going yacht with a clear history, secured underwater hull and investments already made - for buyers who don't want to prepare first, but want to sail straight away.
