Broker's Comments

Boatshed Wales is pleased to offer for sale this fine example of the Westerly Discus 33.

Westerly yachts are a popular choice for sailors of all types. Whether it’s coastal cruising with friends and family or extreme world voyaging, as in Bob Shepton's experience with his own Westerly Discus. Bob sailed his Discus ("Dodo's Delight") through the Northwest Passage twice, has crossed the Atlantic 14 times, and is often found cruising the Arctic Circle. He states that he has made very few modifications to the boat, praising Westerly for their attention to detail and quality construction.

This much-loved example is offered for sale after many years of happy ownership. Upon appraising the boat, it gave the impression of a well-cared-for yacht with regular use and keen attention to maintenance.

The spray dodgers and spray hood are relatively new and appear in excellent condition. The deck paint and non-skid are also in good repair. The standing rigging is under ten years old, making it compliant with most insurers.

The cockpit is noticeably spacious, offering plenty of well-protected working area while sailing and a comfortable space to enjoy while berthed or at anchor.

The interior reflects the exterior space with a large, well-appointed galley, a huge saloon table with ample seating, twin doubles (one aft and one fore), a navigation station, and a large heads.

The engine has been observed to start on the button from cold and performed as expected.

The boat is currently berthed at Milford Marina but is due for lifting and storage ashore shortly. We welcome all inquiries and viewing requests for this desirable example of the popular, proven, and capable Westerly Discus.
