1977 Westerly Solway for sale in UK

Description

Westerly Solway. One of only 55 built, sister ship of fin keeled Conway and aft cockpit Galway, she boasts the largest hulled twin keels ever built by Westerly. Brody is highly maintained and fully equipped. Ready to go. Anywhere. She relaunched on March 23rd and is now on my privately owned mooring on the River Tamar near Saltash. (I may let the mooring go with her.) Reason for sale - I am simply not getting the available time to enjoy her. I am listing at this price for a quick sale and because basically she needs a good scrub! (And that is all she needs. A good scrub.) I can do viewings from April 8th - 11th. I will pick you up from the pontoon at Saltash sailing club in my launch. Current Survey - Yes. Detailed information below: TWIN KEEL - KETCH - CENTRE COCKPIT - 2019 BETA DIESEL. Built in 1977.
