Westerly Griffon Club

This Westerly Griffon Club, ‘Salty’ was built in 1985 by Westerly Yachts to a design by Ed Dubois. The current owner has owned the yacht for 22 years and is now 91 so thinks he may have reached a time when he needs to retire from sailing.  During his ownership he has cruised the south coast and channel islands and the boat has been stored ashore every winter.

She is powered by a Bukh 20hp diesel engine that was last serviced in August 2014 and all the batteries were replaced in 2013.  She comes equipped with GPS, Autopilot and masthead aerial and windvane.

The headlining in the quarter berth needs replacing and her sails are all pre 2000.  As far as we know neither the standing rigging or running rigging has been replaced.

The Westerly Griffon Cub is a well thought out 26 footer, the galley is compact and the chart table folds away when not in use.  The ‘V’ berth in the forepeak gives a reasonable sized double berth with an infil and there is hanging space for wet sailing gear in the heads area.  An ideal boat for sailing single handed or for a family.

The Griffon was the first design that Westerly commissioned from Ed Dubois, and was intended to replace the long-running and incredibly successful Centaur. Griffons were built from 1979 to 1989, with three models – Mk I, Mk II and Club variants. The Mk II had more wooden trim and interior lockers than the Mk I. This later Club version reverted to a simpler interior.  Westerly’s were always moderately expensive yachts for their size, the price reflecting the build quality.

Vancouver 32 Interior

Designed by Robert Harris of Vancouver, Canada, in 1981 the Vancouver 32 is a traditional long-keeled passage maker, with a lot more inside space than many older long-keeled designs. The design is aimed squarely at long-distance cruising.  Just over 60 were built by Northshore Yachts and ‘Scot Free’ was built in 1988.

She is powered by a Yanmar 27hp diesel engine which was last serviced in June 2014.  Her batteries were replaced in 2012.  She is cutter rigged with a slab reefing mainsail.  Lazyjacks and stack pack were added in 2013.  There is a large sail wardrobe with an unused trysail and staysail and a cruising chute and snuffer added in 2012.

The accommodation is well thought out and this 32 footer can accommodate  six people in one double and four single berths.  For the crew’s comfort there is cabin heating throughout the boat.

Her comprehensive electronics package and windvane steering mean that she is very able to undertake blue water sailing. She would make an ideal choice for an adventurous couple or a small  family.

A little cosmetic ‘sprucing up’ but otherwise she is ready to sail away.  She is currently swinging happily on her mooring in the river dart, looking forward to her fantastic view of the Dartmouth Regatta Activities.

They wanted two good cabins, a generator, water maker, holding tanks, as well as generous fuel and water tanks so that they did not have to spend their time in marinas, extra chain for safe anchoring and a good sail handling system so that it could be managed by two.

Fairline Squadron 43

This Fairline Squadron 43 really has to be seen to be fully appreciated.  I have been forbidden to use the word ‘immaculate’ (but she is) but there isn’t another word that describes her condition.  It is easy to step aboard onto the solid wide bathing platform which leads to the aft deck with it’s pristine teak and steps to the side decks and ladder access to the spacious flybridge which is fantastic for entertaining as it easily seats eight.

Every surface in the main saloon gleams.  There is a sideboard which incorporates a bar to port,  a semi circular settee to starboard, with a eucalyptus table and large opening windows.  The well galley is linear with all appliances hidden beneath either the worktops or behind matching doors- meaning that you are hardly aware that it is a galley but it is equipped with a halogen hob, microwave/grill/ oven unit, fridge freezer and twin sinks together with an ample food preparation area.

The owners cabin is forward and has a double bed with an interior sprung mattress, upholstered bed head, quilted bedspread, twin wardrobes (with interior lights) and a vanity unit.  The en suite has a full sized circular shower unit with rotating screen and a bidet!
