English
The Westerly Seahawk 35 is a development of the Seahawk 34 and the Ed Dubois hull design couldn't be better, so the Westerly Oceandream, Westerly Oceanquest and Westerly Falcon were all the same hull.
This is a superb sailing yacht with great internal space. Well laid out with a lovely owners aft cabin and quality fit out. "Vivacia" has to be one of the best out there and has been cared for and updated.
Hull, Deck & Superstructure / General
"Vivacia" is a Seahawk 35 with sugar scoop stern,
The Westerly Seahawk 34 was introduced in 1984, and in 1988 a 'sugar scoop' transom was added to create the Seahawk 35. In 1990 the design was modified slightly again to become the Oceandream, which then in turn became the Oceanquest, all on the same basic 34 foot hull and deck design. The same hull with a different deck moulding was also used on the aft-cockpit Falcon.
The raised centre cockpit of the Seahawks give excellent headroom below, and the design also gives a really good double berth aft cabin with extra seating area. Later versions such as this 1989 Seahawk 35 also had much higher quality interior joinery than the quite plainly finished early versions.
