Broker's Comments

Another of Ed Dubois designs.
As Westerly Merlin’s go this has to represent an excellent opportunity to acquire a very desirable boat. It is evident that she has been very well cared for.
The owner has just had a new vetus M3 29 hp engine installed with less than 1 hour running, with warranty remaining.
With a good suite of sails, dinghy and outboard and array of navigation equipment, it is difficult to see what else you may need.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

Could you possibly tell me when the standing rigging, running rigging and sails were last replaced? Thanks.
