LOA	28' 10"	Sail area	513 sq ft main and genoa	Brief details
LWL	25' 6"	Rig	Sloop	This 1986 Konsort is one of the very few Konsorts with wheel steering, reportedly fitted from new as a non-standard modification. She has a good inventory including radar, hot water, hot-air heating, dinghy and outboard, and the hull had a full professional osmosis treatment two years ago. She is for sale now because the owner has already bought a larger boat.

Ballast	3,200 lbs	BHP	18
Keel type	Twin iron bilge keels and transom-hung rudder

The Westerly Konsort was designed by Laurent Giles as a mid-sized boat between the 26 foot Centaur and the Longbow/Berwick/Pentland 31 foot range. She was introduced in 1979, and remained in production until 1992/93, with over 800 built.

The Konsort rapidly overtook the larger boats in popularity, as with 15 inches more beam she offered virtually as much space in a cheaper package. From the mid-80s however, prices increased significantly, and by 1992 the boat was selling at over £50,000, and becoming uncompetitive with cheaper imports.

The Konsort is a stiff boat that is often regarded as slightly undercanvassed in light winds, although overall she is not slow. 'Yachting Monthly' reported in their boat test ".......her ability to keep up respectable speeds in all weather will prove no less embarrassing to many a sleeker, but more demanding cruiser" and "....The Konsort is amazingly stiff. When most boats are struggling with reefs, the Konsort hangs on, whilst at all times the helm retains that legendary docility that is difficult to abuse".

The wheel steering operates a lever arm on the rudder stock at the transom, and a stub tiller is left in place, to which a tiller extension can be mounted for emergency steering. It is believed that this modification was done by Westerly, when the yacht was new, perhaps as a one-off.
