1988 Westerly Storm

The Westerly Storm is a well-regarded yacht designed by Ed Dubois. They are great all-rounders and very capable in any weather. The Storm offers crisp-acceleration and sharp handling without skimping on accommodation. With a spacious, modern layout and above average headroom they are great for families and cruising further afield.
