English
The Westerly Konsort 29 is a spacious and well-built six berth family cruiser with good sea-keeping abilities. Carpe Vitam has an all-furling rig ideal for easy short-handed sailing and has been very well-cared-for. She benefits from a new 25hp Beta fitted in 2022 (approx. 14 hours run), new upholstery, bimini and professional epoxy treatment in 2021, as well as many other upgrades over recent years. Presented in very good condition ready to enjoy, she is only for sale due to her owners retiring from sailing.
