Welcome to the timeless elegance of the 1980 Westerly Konsort, where classic yacht design meets modern refinement. With an overall length of 8.8 meters and accommodating up to six guests in its beautifully crafted cabins, this vessel stands as a testament to quality and craftsmanship. Berthed in the scenic waters of North Wales, it is perfectly poised for those seeking maritime adventures or a serene escape on the seas.
Built in 1980, this Westerly Konsort has been meticulously maintained and upgraded to meet the highest standards of both safety and comfort. The boat features a bilge-keel design, ideal for both deep water and near-shore adventures, providing stability and ease of handling under various sailing conditions.
The sloop has seen extensive upgrades that blend seamlessly with its original charm. The standing rigging was entirely replaced four years ago, complemented by a new 'lazy jack' cover and a robust spray hood that shields the cockpit from the elements. The hull underwent a complete overhaul two years ago, with Firmhelm of Pwllheli handling the detailed restoration work that included epoxy treatments costing over £7,000, ensuring a solid and moisture-resistant foundation that stands the test of time.
Equipped with an array of navigational aids, the boat boasts a fully functional VHF radio and GPS system, ensuring safe and informed voyages. The introduction of a new NASA log and depth indicator in 2023 further enhances its operational capabilities. Mechanically, the boat is powered by a frugal engine that consumes just one litre of fuel per hour at 1500 rpm, offering an impressive range of nearly 300 miles. The engine's reliability is supported by a newly installed alternator and fresh batteries, complemented by solar panels for continuous power supply.
The interior speaks of thoughtful design with a focus on comfort and functionality. A new galley setup installed recently includes a modern cooker with gas rings, a grill, and an oven, alongside full crockery and cutlery, making meal preparation onboard both enjoyable and convenient. The addition of a new 7kw hot-air diesel heater ensures the boat remains cosy, distributing heated air through ducts to the forward cabin and saloon. A 12v refrigerator provides essential storage for provisions, strategically placed for easy access during voyages or while moored.
Safety is paramount on this Westerly Konsort, equipped with updated safety gear including six self-inflating life belts and a reliable life ring. The boat also comes with a 2.8-meter inflatable dinghy and an electric outboard motor, enhancing its versatility and readiness for different sailing conditions.
This 1980 Westerly Konsort is more than just a sailing boat; it's a blend of history, innovation, and meticulous care. It represents a unique opportunity for anyone looking to own a piece of sailing heritage equipped with all the modern amenities to ensure safety, performance, and comfort.
