1977 Westerly 33

The Westerly 33 Ketch is a classic British cruising yacht known for its seaworthiness, strong build, and balanced performance. This centre-cockpit ketch delivers reliable handling and practical comfort, making it an ideal choice for coastal adventures and longer offshore passages. A well-maintained Perkins M30 engine adds confidence underway, while the stainless steel standing rigging and versatile ketch sail plan offer easy, manageable cruising. A solid GRP hull, skeg-hung rudder, and encapsulated cast-iron keel give this model the strength to handle varied conditions. The sail wardrobe includes a roller-furling genoa along with slab-reefed main and mizzen, supporting steady progress in light or fresh winds. On deck, the layout remains practical and secure, with a Lofrans windlass, mooring gear, and renewed cockpit grating that enhances comfort at the helm. The electrical setup features 12V and 220V systems, solar panels, and a Sterling inverter to support extended time afloat. Below deck, the yacht sleeps six in a warm, inviting interior. The forward cabin offers generous space, while the adaptable aft cabin and comfortable saloon provide welcome flexibility. A practical galley with a Neptune 4500 cooker and Seaglaze replacement windows keeps the living area bright and functional. A well-equipped navigation station includes Garmin and Raymarine electronics for confident passage planning. A new tender with a Mercury 3.3hp outboard and ample storage complete this capable, characterful cruiser. A well-cared-for example of a proven design, this Westerly 33 Ketch is ready for her next adventures.
