The classic and well tested Westerly Storm Cruiser is a family orientated version of the Storm racing yacht, with a reduced rig. She is a thoroughly capable cruiser, with excellent, comfortable, accommodation and headroom, as a result of her wider beam.
This example is presented very good order, with many upgrades, including recent headlining, upholstery, electronics, deck hatches and more.
A good opportunity to acquire a well maintained, all round, well proven yacht, ideally suited to serious family cruising.
