1980 Westerly Griffon boat for sale
Broker Remarks
This Westerly, built in 1980 and designed by Ed Dubois, has been a joy to sail and very reliable. The GRP construction with bilge keels and a transom-hung rudder makes her sturdy and easy to handle, while the tiller steering provides excellent feedback at the helm. The Beta Marine engine (new 2018) with a Gori folding propeller ensures smooth and dependable motoring.
She has been thoughtfully maintained and upgraded over the years, including a new single-lever engine control (2021), Bamar genoa furling (2021), and electronics, including Simrad navigation systems and JRC radar. A sprayhood, cockpit cushions, and practical canvas gear enhance comfort and convenience. Safety is well catered for with lifebuoys and Danbuoy.
This yacht is perfect for coastal cruising or exploring further afield, combining classic craftsmanship, easy handling, and reliable systems for enjoyable and stress-free sailing.”
