Remarks

 

She is a moderately heavy displacement cruising yacht, with a stiff weatherly and easy motion. Her moderate beam means she is well balanced under sail and her long fin and skeg allows her to almost sail herself. The current owners have cruised the coast of Wales and Anglesey, the east coast of Ireland and the Isle of Man.

Overall, this yacht is a very good example of the Westerly Renown but has had little use for the past couple of years due to ill health of the owner so would benefit from a little TLC. The price has been set to reflect the boats recent lack of activity and interested parties should bear this in mind if viewing. Offers would be considered which would pass Revasser back into the hands of more active owners and she would make a relatively easy ‘clean up’ project for the spring for someone.
