F.Y.S. Comments

The Westerly Konsort has proved herself over the years to be one of the most popular

cruising boats ofher size. Wide beam and full sections forward and traditional layout

make for an unusually large forwardcabin and a very spacious saloon.

“Throstle” well equipped and appears to have been continually updated to make her a

comfortablecruising boat. Cosmetically the hull and deck appear in good order, typically

the cockpit GRP shows the Westerly UV crazing. Down below the woodwork is fair and

could benefit from some revarnishing, the headliners have been updated at some point

and again are in fair condition.
