The Westerly Pentland is one of the five models (Berwick, Longbow, Pentland, Renown, Westerly 31) all based on the same Laurent Giles designed 31 foot hull. They were first introduced in 1973. All are heavy, powerful cruisers which sail better than you might expect from their looks.

As with all Westerly's of this period, they were built to Lloyds specifications which meant that the building processes were rigorously monitored and all materials had to be approved by Lloyds in order that a certificate could be issued. Although no longer in production they still represent excellent value for money. With deep safe cockpits, you sail in them rather than on them, and they have the weight to smash through heavy weather - helped if necessary by a powerful diesel. The distinctive Westerly "bow knuckle" serves the dual purposes of deflecting spray and creating more room below in the forecabin.

Whilst most Pentlands built were ketch rigged, Westerly did produce some with sloop rigs, with better windward performance, this being one of these sloop versions

The heads compartment separates forecabin and saloon, with hanging space in a locker opposite. The heads has an Paloma on-demand gas water heater providing constant hot water to the sinks in the heads and the galley.

The Volvo Penta MD17C diesel is probably original: these low-revving marine diesels are very long-lived if looked after

	Access to the aft cabin is via the cockpit. Although not shown in the photos, there is a near-new full 'camper' cover for the cockpit, making it effectively another living space in harbour

The mast was fitted with an Easyreef in-mast furling gear, with a Maxi-Roach vertically battened mainsail, in 2000
