LWL	30' 5"	Rig	sloop	The Westerly Corsair is a solidly built large-volume family cruiser, big enough and heavy enough for serious offshore work, and with a remarkably spacious interior. This Mk I example has had some modifications made to the interior layout - the new joinery being very nicely done, and has clearly been loved by long-term owners. She has a good inventory including a recently fitted Sliepner 4 hp bowthruster.

The Westerly Corsair was designed by Ed Dubois, and introduced at the 1983 Southampton Boat Show as a replacement for the earlier Conway design. The design aim was to produce a better performing yacht than the Conway, and to improve the interior. The original prototype Corsair had two single aft berths, with no aft heads, and a ketch rig was also intended to be an option. Few ketches were ever sold, and the aft cabin layout for production boats was very soon changed to have an athwartships double and an aft heads. The revised design was very popular, and over 100 were built between 1984 and 1986.

In 1986 the Mk II version was produced, this using identical hull and deck mouldings, and having fairly minor internal changes, including alterations to the galley, a U-shaped berth in the saloon and a backrest and seat for the navigator, moving the passage berth by the chart table aft, and in turn reducing locker space in the aft cabin. The numbers sold of the Corsair Mk II were never as high as the Mk I, with about 50 sold until 1989/90, when the hull and deck mouldings were enlarged and revised to create the Oceanranger.

This yacht for sale is a relatively early Mk I Corsair, but has been over the years modified to in some ways resemble a Mk II, with a few extra touches. The alterations to the joinery are extremely well done - it is difficult to tell which panels and lockers came from Westerly and which were added.

The forecabin berths are 6' 8" long on the vee, with an infill (not shown) to make a double berth.
Photographs December 2010
The forward heads has a Lavac marine WC with a holding tank, and hot and cold pressurised water and shower

The saloon settee berths are 6' 3" long


The interior has been slightly altered from standard, with extra lockers in the saloon, and a mini-bulkhead and pillar separating the passage berth from the chart table. This shortens the passage berth but gives the navigator a proper seat. Saloon headroom is 6' 5"

There are three taps at the galley sink, the extra one providing filtered water

The walkthrough to the aft cabin has had a part bulkhead and pillar fitted, in a similar way to the Mk II Corsairs, and a fixed leeboard added to the passage berth. The passage berth can be used as a shortened child's berth with the chart table seat in place, or as a full length berth with the chart table seat backrest removed.

The athwartships aft cabin double berth is 7' 4" wide at the forward end, 6' 0" wide aft, and over 5 feet fore and aft

A new Volvo 2030 diesel was installed in 1997 and a 4hp Sliepner bowthruster was installed in 2007. She has an electric anchor windlass, and one of the cockpit winches is electric. The genoa was new in 2009, and the 2002 fully battened mainsail is in very good condition.

The primary winches are Lewmar 44 self-tailers, with the starboard winch being electric, to which the aft-led halliards and reefing lines can be led. A removable inner forestay is fitted for the storm jib.

The fully battened mainsail was new in 2002, and the roller genoa, along with the forestay and Rotostay furling gear was new in 2009.

The starboard cockpit locker is very deep, and contains the valise liferaft
