The Westerly Konsort is one of the best loved British family cruisers of her era and remains a firm favourite on the East Coast. 'Jake' has been in the same ownership for the last eleven years and has benefitted from consistent and well documented investment throughout, including a Beta Marine 30 diesel engine fitted in 2022 with only 425 hours recorded; a new mast and standing rigging in 2021; and recent sails. Her inventory includes Eberspächer diesel heating, solar panel and a liferaft. Her owner has cruised her extensively - Belgium, France, the Scilly Isles, the Solent, Dartmouth, Wells-next-the-Sea, Southwold, Lowestoft and the East Coast rivers - and with a draft of just 0.99m she is equally at home in the creeks and drying berths closer to home. Anodes were renewed in February 2026 and she was antifouled in March 2026. A genuinely well prepared example that is ready to cruise now.

Construction

Built by Westerly Marine in 1981 to a design by Laurent Giles, the Konsort being the last design from Westerly's long-standing designers and one of the yard's most successful models. White GRP hull and decks with light grey painted non-slip surfaces. Twin cast iron bilge keels giving a draft of 0.99m, making her ideally suited to shallow and drying berths. Tiller steering to transom hung rudder. Spinlock tiller extension. Aft self-draining cockpit. The hull has never been treated for osmosis. Anodes last replaced February 2026 and last antifouled March 2026.
