1980 Westerly Discus Fin Keel, a meticulously maintained 10- yacht designed for family cruising and ready to sail. This spacious yacht features original woodwork in excellent condition, newly replaced headlining with LED lighting, and comfortable cushions. Recent upgrades include Lewmar 46 winches (2022), fresh antifoul (December 2023), and a Featherstream feathering propeller for optimal sailing performance.
The yacht is equipped with a fully battened mainsail and a 140% genoa, both in excellent condition, and a Raymarine Hybrid Chart Plotter for precise navigation. The rigging was updated in 2014, ensuring reliability and safety.
Powered by a 42 HP Mercedes OM636 diesel engine with a recently replaced gearbox, the yacht also features a new control panel, smart charger, solar panel, and shore power.
Accommodations include two double cabins, two single berths, and a cozy saloon with a Taylor diesel heater. The galley is equipped with a Flavel cooker and refrigerator. On deck, the Hyspeed windlass, 15kg Bruce anchor with 45m of chain, and Danforth anchor provide secure anchoring. The yacht also boasts a Raymarine ST4000+ Wheel Pilot autopilot, radar, speed log, wind indicator, depth gauge, and AIS receiver.
Currently lying in Portsmouth, U.K., and ready for viewing, this Westerly Discus is a turn-key cruiser awaiting its next adventure. Full details of the extensive work and upgrades can be found in the advert below.
