She has a good inventory including a full cockpit tent with windows, radar and autopilot, and the hull had a full osmosis treatment in 2017/18. Price reduced as the owner is keen to sell as he has now bought his next boat.

The Westerly 33 was the bigger, beamier and heavier successor to the long-running Longbow/Renown/Berwick/Pentland 31 foot range, and retained the distinctive bow knuckle of most of the earlier Laurent Giles designed GRP Westerlys. The Westerly 33 design was introduced in 1977, and over 200 were built before it was replaced by the very similar Discus in 1980, which used the same hull moulding, and continued in production until 1984. Most were ketch-rigged, although sloops were also produced, and they were sold with fin or bilge keel options. "Yachting Monthly" has described them as ".... substantial, safe and comfortable seaboats, popular with families for extended cruising".

With as powerful a diesel as most similar sized motor-sailers, they are nevertheless good sailing yachts, particularly in the fin-keeled models. This yacht is the sloop rigged fin keel version, with a feathering prop to aid sailing ability.

The present owner competed with her in the 2009 OSTAR singlehanded transatlantic race.

2009 was a fairly windy year, and after 27 days he finished third in class.

The '211' on the hull is from that race.

The boat is fully set up for offshore cruising, with a removable inner forestay.

The masthead is painted orange for visibility, and there are the optional extra "sailing vessel" red over green lights on the mast, as well as conventional port, starboard and stern lights, steaming and deck light.
