This 1996 Westerly Oceanquest 35 centre cockpit features a bow thruster and a 30 HP Volvo Penta diesel engine with shaft drive. The vessel is very well set up for single-handed sailing or for a couple. The Westerly Oceanquest 35 offers 6 berths in two cabins, with the master cabin aft and a double-berth island bed. The Westerly Oceanquest Centre Cockpit, designed by Ed Dubois, is a spacious family cruiser that a couple can easily handle. The Oceanquest is a well-proven, serious passagemaker. The current owner has kept the vessel for over 7 years and is selling it only due to ill health. The vessel also benefits from a solar and lithium battery setup for extended time off-grid. The centre cockpit also features a good-quality spray hood and a full cockpit enclosure. The vessel will suite somebody looking to do long-term cruising or living aboard.
