Summary
Drumbeat Westerly Conway combines comfortable accommodation in three cabins with the ability to make fast sea passages. Laurent Giles was asked to design a powerful cruising boat with a fast, modern hull shape, a deck that is uncluttered with plenty of working space and a capacious interior. With good directional stability the keel is longer than most boats of this generation. With a fairly generous beam the hull is, nevertheless, well balanced and little helm angle is required to keep a straight course even when the vessel is overpressed. Drumbeat has Bilge keels allowing for drying out in harbor's or shallow moorings. She also has recent Tacktick and Raymarine instrumentation. New upholstery and foam was new in 2016, and headlinings are new from 2023.
