Westerly Storm 33

Price as reviewed:

£30,000.00

When she was launched, Westerly hoped it had created a boat to suit both the conservative cruising man and the performance-hungry sailor. This tough, no-nonsense boat almost delivered. She’s not great fun in light airs, but a family man looking for an offshore yacht with the ability to take some stick would be hard pushed to find a better second-hand buy at the price.
