A bilge keel version of the ever popular Westerly Merlin. Her shallow draft bilge keels makes her the perfect family cruiser for the East Coast. "Mylor May" had a replacement engine in 2008. She is competitively priced as she is in quite original condition and does need some fettling to bring her back to her former glory.
