Fin Keeled Westerly Konsort (1988) Sensibly priced at £14,950
We know this boat well, with one of our team having maintained her professionally for a previous owner and with the Barbican Yacht Agency having acted for the last three owners.
‘Bunbury’ has spent the majority of her life safely ashore, with two of the last three ownerships only launching her for young family use; primarily for the school summer holidays. The current owner has launched her more conventionally in springtime, but has also brought her ashore for annual winter lay-up.
Built in 1988 to Westerly’s ‘Jubilee’ specification, but first launched in 1989 with yard No. E83/Sail No. KT662, ‘Bunbury’ is one of the youngest fin-keeled examples of the Konsort available, lightly used and well updated with niceties such as self-tailing winches, recent sails and Flexofold folding propeller.
‘Bunbury’s bilge areas are dry, the majority of teak veneers in good order and the forward cabin and quarter berth areas professionally re-lined. All this in addition to the earlier replacement of the primary instrumentation and the fitting of a refrigeration unit, with the canvas works (sprayhood and ‘Stak Pack’-style sail cover) and the sails within the recent past too.
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.

Six berths in two cabins, with Westerly ‘Blue Sea’ velvet upholstery and professionally replaced headlining in the forward cabin and quarter berth and under-side deck head panels in the main cabin.
For’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 head ends of the berths offer good volume. Deep fiddled shelves are fitted to either hull-side. Light and ventilation are provided by an overhead hatch and two opening portlights for cross-ventilation.
Heads Compartment: Provided with a Jabsco marine-flushing toilet (new pump unit 2024); pull-out handbasin and hand-pumped cold water supply. Under-deck closed locker for bulk stowage. A large hanging locker to the opposite side of the vessel is fitted with a divider, with the intention of separating ‘wets’ from dry. In practice this area provides very practical bulk storage plus some hanging for clothing and/or jackets.
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. Generous single quarter berth to port side abaft the chart table. Nice quality clock and barometer set fitted to main bulkhead. 240V AC 13A outlet socket at aft end of the saloon.
Chart Table: Chart stowage within a forward-facing independent chart table, with deep-fiddled open shelf running alongside the Navigators left shoulder for almanacs and tidal streams atlases for example. A GPS and the VHF radio are mounted here too.
Galley: L-shaped in form, to starboard of the companionway. Fitted with a stainless sink, foot-pumped freshwater (cold only) supply, with an up-dated two burner stove, fitted with grill and oven (Neptune 2500 by Plastimo), two storage drawers; pans locker and dedicated crockery storage, plus a large under-deck storage locker.

VESSEL’S HISTORY/BACKGROUND.
VESSEL’S HISTORY/BACKGROUND.
As touched upon above, this particular Konsort is well known to ourselves, having been involved with the last three of the four ownerships since new. Indeed, one of our team; James Green first surveyed her in 2001 and then from June 2006 carried out all the annual maintenance on behalf of the second owners until the Barbican Yacht Agency sold her to the third owner – a professional Yacht Surveyor – in 2019.
In her second ownership the vessel was kept ashore and only launched for the children’s summer holidays – for many years the boat was literally launched in July and laid up again in the first week of September - with the engine being promptly serviced and de-commissioned, sails removed and running rigging laundered as necessary before being dry stored. The boom was always stowed below, together with all the canvas work.
The hull’s topsides were compounded and polished to high standard in 2016, with replacement ‘Coveta’ and waterline stripes applied and then lightly polished and waxed in subsequent years.
Interestingly [and somewhat notably], the deck paint has never been re-painted. Arguably it is currently now over-due a repaint. James, nor either of the last two owners have ‘quite got around to it’. Not so much of a fault, but a relatively minor detraction that we feel that you would want to be aware of.
‘BUNBURY’ represents a rare and refreshing opportunity to purchase an unadulterated and very honest Westerly of prime vintage, in notably better condition than the majority.
