Westerly Ocean 37 – 2002 High Quality Yacht for family cruising and live-aboard.
The Westerly Ocean 37, 2 cabin, 2 head version, has the hull of the previously Dubois-designed Westerly Typhoon that was incredibly popular and still is due to its fantastic build quality and proven performance and stability. On the Ocean 37 you get larger Mainsail, taller mast and a slightly reengineered/designed keel compared to the previous Typhoon. Westerly only build two of these, unique designs – most updated model, and even Code of practice equipped. This is the last build from Westerly.
This boat is the perfect, safe and quality designed cruiser very comfortable in even rough sea. For a couple or a family either wanting to cruise the oceans, live-abord or to have her for more coastal sailing, she will is an ideal choice in quality, comfort and not least a size that make costs for marinas at a lower level than just a few meter larger boats. Here you have the type of boat that is simply build to last and with details to quality and long lasting solutions. Westerly is well known in UK and northern Europe, and often compared to boats like Hallberg-Rassy, Moody and Malö from the years where shipyards build yachts with hull thickness and teak and mahogany to last.
Here is a lot of classic design but a big factor here is the conventional block and tackle mainsheet system in the cockpit which allows quick, simple, and safe control by the crew or the helmsman.
Her deep narrow cockpit is a good design feature. It feels very secure when you’re moving about or trimming, especially when heeled.
This 2002, Westerly Ocean 37 proved itself in all types of sea and weather, both in the colder northerly hemisphere in UK, along the coast of Europe down to the Canary Islands and the Mediterranean. S/Y SOUND is now on the hard in Portimao on the sunny coast of Algarve in Portugal, waiting for her new owner. She has only sailed very little the last 8 years and therefore sails, interior and engine is is in very good condition for its age.
The boat has most of what you need. Almost all instrumentation you need in working condition. Some can be upgraded to newer versions as usual, but all basics are there. A lot of safety features were added as the owner certified her according to “Code of Practice” with the strict requirements. (Certificate no longer active – as owner never did use it commercially for training)

The boat only had only one owner. Its currently UK registered but been in Portimao, Portugal (EU) over Brexit and therefore EU VAT Paid status.

The current owners have been sailing for many years and seen most of Europe and the last years not had the possibility to use this fine boat and now feel its time for enjoying their retirement on land, and therefore decided to sell.
