Designed by Laurent Giles, and introduced in 1972, the Westerly Longbow is a solid fin keel cruiser. The same hull moulding was also used with a centre cockpit deck to produce ketch-rigged versions. Over a thousand of the various versions were produced, of which about 260 were Longbows. Other models using the same hull are the Westerly Berwick, with sloop rig and bilge keels, the Pentland, with centre cockpit, ketch rig and bilge keels, and the Renown, with centre cockpit, ketch rig and fin keel.

As with all Westerlys of the period, they were built to Lloyds specifications which meant that the building processes were rigorously monitored and all materials had to be approved by Lloyds in order that a certificate could be issued. Although now long out of production they still represent excellent value for money, and offer an excellent combination of price, performance and accommodation space

This Longbow has been internally modified to provide a proper sit-down chart table, instead of a pull-out chart table over a quarterberth as was the original design. She laos has a seating divider with a solid grab pillar to port, making a more comfortable seating area by the table, and separating the two halves of the very long port settee berths. There have alos been other minor alterations to the galley, total replacement of the original headlinings, and a new engine, making this a truly excellent example of the class.

Accommodation plan of a standard layout Longbow. On this yacht the very long port port side seat/berth has been divided, the galley extended, and a chart table and seat put in to starboard

This really is an exceptionally good example of a Longbow, having had a major and very thorough refit over a long period, by a very experienced owner. She has a comprehensive inventory, and the internal re-arrangement of the layout has increased the practicality of the accommodation considerably.
