Broker's Comments

This Westerly Longbow is the Ketch Rigged version with Wheel Steering. The Longbow is Fin Keeled and as such combines good sailing performance with very good accommodation.
This one has been updated with new upholstery, curtains and carpets in 2012. The headlinings also look pretty good; it was also re-engined in the late 80's.
Viewings can be arranged in advance 6-days a week by contacting the Boatshed Essex office direct.
