Westerly made 300 of the Discus (more than the Westerly 33 ketch that it superseded) and many of these boats can be found in the Med or cruising further afield. The Discus holds the record for the fibre glass yacht sailed furthest above the Arctic Circle (Bob Shepton on Dodo's Delight), another testament to the strength of the hull and its sea-keeping qualities. Built in two distinct versions between 1980 and 1984, with different deck mouldings, the Westerly Discus is a solid and very seaworthy cruiser. The hull continues the style of earlier Laurent Giles Westerlys, with the same distinctive bow knuckle seen on Centaurs and other smaller designs.
This one’s hull gleams and she is now been taken out of the water this October. So ideal for anyone wishing to have a survey.
Accommodation
| Total # of berths | 6 |
|---|---|
| No. of double berths | 2 |
| No. of single berths | 2 |
| Cabin(s) | 2 |
| Handbasin | 1 |
| Shower | 1 |
| Heads | 1 heads (Manual) |
The accommodation is very well planned, spacious and airey. The sapele hardwood has very good longevity qualities and is one of the best for resisting moisture damage. It has a warm colour creating a lovely ambience. The saloon table when open spans over to each saloon berth and allows for entertaining friends and family. Port and starboard saloon seats convert to 6’2” berths and have their original lee boards. So this vessel has been looked after very well over the years. The video will show more detail regardless layout. All cushions seemed very comfortable too.
