Westerly 38 Ocean Ranger (sailboat) for sale

Remarks :
Built by Westerly Yachts Ltd in 1993 and designed by Ed Dubois, this yacht combines classic British craftsmanship with proven offshore capability. She has been extensively upgraded and well-maintained, making her a reliable and comfortable cruiser.
The GRP hull and cast iron fin keel provide strength and stability, while the refurbished teak decks (2021)
Powered by a Volvo Penta MD2003 with new engine mounts (2022) and a replacement saildrive seal (2023), she delivers dependable performance under power.
Her electrical system has been modernised with a Victron charger (2020), new alternator (2022), and an overhauled wind generator (2023), providing efficient off-grid capability. The standing rigging (new 2020) and new genoa (2020), combined with in-mast furling and a Furlex headsail system, make her easy to handle and ready to sail.
Below deck, she offers comfortable accommodation for up to nine, featuring two private cabins, a spacious saloon, and a well-equipped galley. The warm teak interior, ample stowage, and practical layout make her ideal for extended cruising.
Additional highlights include new canvas work (2025), Lofrans electric windlass, comprehensive safety equipment, and recent servicing throughout.
A well-presented and thoughtfully upgraded example of this sought-after Westerly design, ready for coastal cruising or long-distance adventures.
