Broker's Comments
This is a nice example of the popular Westerly Merlin 28. They have exceptional space and really do feel like a bigger vessel.
The interior and upholstery looks good and she has had new headlinings and also new 10mm close cell foam insulation which is now covered in new light grey four way stretched carpet.
She has had a brand new Beta 20 engine fitted I April 2024. new PSS shaft seal, new water lock, new standing rigging, new instruments, other than wind. The seacocks have been replaced with nylon ones, new stack pack and dodgers.
In October 2023 she was sanded down and had 7 coats of International VC Tar 2 epoxy primer and was anti fouled. She was launched in May 2024. The decks could do with some grey paint but other that she looks a nice tidy boat.
