This Westerly Discus was in the process of being updated and improved when the owner unfortunately passed away. She has teak in the cockpit in very good condition, a near new engine, and a good inventory, including liferaft, anchor windlass, and Eberspacher cabin heating. The main item of work outstanding is sorting out the headlinings in the forecabin and aft cabins - the saloon headlinings are already re-done.

The Westerly Discus was a development of the Westerly 33 hull design, and built in two versions. The "centre cockpit" Discus was essentially a Westerly 33 with a walkthrough to the aft cabin in place of a cockpit hatch, but the "bridgedeck version" had a different deck moulding with the cockpit right aft, and a broad bridgedeck at the forward end of the cockpit, under which was access to the aft cabin with offset double berth. The first Discuses had sapele mahogany joinery, later yachts having teak.

Whereas the Westerly 33s were all ketch rigged, most Discuses were sloop rigged, with ketch as an option. The move towards sloop rig had much to do with the availability of reliable genoa roller reefing gears, making sloop rigs much more manageable.

Discuses were generally fitted either with Mercedes or Volvo 36 hp diesels. They are a classic solid cruiser, with a good record of long-distance cruising.

This yacht is the more popular bridgedeck version, and sloop rigged, with a nearly new Volvo diesel.

The original engine was replaced in 2007, with a new Volvo D2-40B engine,
which has run about 80 hours to date

This is a well equipped Discus, for sale now only because of a bereavement.
