Twin-keeled Westerly Konsort (1981) Competitively priced at £14,500Built in 1981 with yard No. D277/Sail No. KT399, ‘Kotys’ is good example of a Mk I Konsort, well spec’d originally, lightly used & clearly well cared for by the current and previous owners. The bilge areas are dry, the teak veneers in good order and she has been re-lined to a good standard in a previous ownership. The standing rigging was recently replaced (May 2023). And she has benefitted from an electrical system overhaul & upgrade If you enjoy your sailing, want the benefits of voluminous accommodation, and appreciate the build quality and the warmth of a honey-coloured teak wood finish of a prime Westerly-built yacht – all at under 30’, then this is a boat to view.Many more photos are available, contact us for detailsAccommodationFive/Six berths in two cabins, with a separate heads compartment between forward & saloon.Head-linings have been replaced by a previous owner and are generally in good order (although there are currently a few individual areas that could now do with attention to prevent further detachment). Fore cabin: Two generous berths (larger than in the Westerly 33!) can form a double by use of an in-filling cushion. A stainless steel water tank is fitted beneath the forward end of the berths, but the under-berth lockers beneath the aft ends of the berths offer good volume.

In practice this area provides very practical bulk storage plus some hanging for clothing and/or jackets. 1 X 240v socket in this area.Saloon: Parallel settee berths to port and starboard; the port side’s settee extends to provide a practical double berth between hull side and the centre-line mounted table.
