The Westerly Fulmar is a moderately fast family cruiser, with all the usual Westerly virtues of solid construction and seaworthiness, plus bilge keels which offer the use of cheaper moorings and access to shallow drying harbours. In only her second ownership, this yacht had a factory reconditioned engine fitted in 2007, which has run just 47 hours. The owners are reluctantly selling only because of advancing years.

Introduced in 1980, the Westerly Fulmar was the second design by Ed Dubois for Westerly, the first being the smaller Griffon 26. It was intended as a replacement for the Laurent Giles 31-footers (Westerly Longbow, Berwick, Renown and Pentland), but was a substantially higher performance yacht, so much so that the fin keel versions were used for match racing and race training. The main production run of the standard Fulmar 32 ended in 1992 with over 400 built, but a very few Fulmar 33s were built up to around 1996, these later boats having a modified transom with 'sugarscoop' boarding platform.

Despite the higher performance, the Westerly Fulmar was a very successful pure cruiser, and a surprising number are still in use as sailing school and charter boats, a testament to their combination of vice-free handling and robust construction. 'Yachting Monthly' described the Fulmar as having ".... perfect manners - a light touch on the tiller, good balance and straight running".

This is one of the less common bilge keel versions of the Fulmar, giving substantial advantages in accessing shallow areas, and drying out on cheaper moorings, whilst retaining good performance thanks to fairly deep and efficient angled bilge keels and the easy to handle fractional rig.

Westerly always advertised the Fulmar as sleeping 7 adults, as well as claiming that the saloon table would seat eight. We regard this as a 5/6 person boat.
