The Westerly Vulcan is a powerful motor-sailer with a fully enclosed deck saloon with second internal steering position. She has an amazingly spacious interior, and on this boat a fully enclosing 'camper' cover for the cockpit, which when zipped up further increases the living space. This example was the first Westerly fitted with a Stearn Dynafurl main - which gives in-mast furling convenience with no danger of jamming. This is a one-owner boat, and was re-engined in 1998 with a Lombardini diesel, with just 230 hours run to date.

The Westerly Vulcan was designed by Laurent Giles, and introduced at the 1980 London Boat Show. The design was aimed at producing an all-weather cruiser with a lot of living accommodation, and in that respect was very successful, although Vulcans were never the prettiest boat in Westerlys range.


Around 49 were built between 1980 and 1983/84.

Vulcans were built with either iron fin keels with 4' 9" draught, or 4' 3" draught twin iron bilge keels, this yacht being a bilge-keeler. She also has the unusual but very effective Stearn Dynafurl mast, which is essentially a vertically furling mainsail set on a roller foil a few inches aft of the mast.

Above: All the windows have been replaced recently with laminated glass, and all hatches have been fitted with new acrylic and re-seated. The saloon settees are each 76" long

All the interior linings have been professionally replaced - sorting out the common Westerly problem of sagging headlinings.


The two sides of the "vee" in the forecabin are each about 78" long. Made into a double it is 74" fore and aft, and 78" wide at the aft end.

 

 

On the starboard side, opposite the heads, is a double cabin. Although the berth is 78" long, it is on the narrow side for a double at 42". The foot of the berth extends back under the interior steering position and starboard saloon settee

Aft in the saloon is a step down to port with chart table with swing-out seat, and a single passage berth, opposite which is a truly enormous storage locker

The 1000 watt generator seen here in the interior storage locker is not included on the inventory

The engine is under the saloon cabin sole, with very good access all round. The original Volvo diesel was replaced by a 45 hp Lombardini diesel in 1998. This engine has to date run just under 230 hours.

The cockpit has a full 'camper' style cover, which can be removed in sections to leave just a sprayhood, or sprayhood plus bimini cover. The cockpit also has raised seating with cushions aft of the wheel, as well as normal cockpit cushions.

The Dynafurl rig has a mainsail set on a roller furling gear mounted juts aft of the mast, allowing the ease of in-mast furling without the problems of jamming that such systems have been known to be prone to.

Whilst few would call the Westerly Vulcan a pretty or elegant yacht, she does have a great deal going for her - this really is one of the biggest 34-footers around, and with a powerful diesel and twin keels she is very versatile. This one owner boat is now reluctantly for sale only because of the owners age.
