WESTERLY MARINE KONSORT 29 DUO

The Westerly Konsort Duo 'Quintet' (1986) is a robust and versatile bilge-keel motor sailer, providing a balanced mix of sailing and motoring capabilities. With a reputation for solid construction and stable performance, this vessel is particularly well-suited for coastal cruising and leisurely sailing.

Although the engine hours are not documented, the Volvo Penta 2003 diesel engine has been regularly maintained, with key servicing done in recent years, including the replacement of water pump seals in 2021. Routine maintenance has also been kept up, with the anodes and antifouling last attended to in 2022.

The rigging and sails are in good working order, having undergone significant updates in 2019 and 2022, making the vessel well-prepared for typical sailing activities. The interior offers comfortable accommodation for up to six people, with a saloon that provides good visibility and a functional layout.

While 'Quintet' has received some modern enhancements, such as a new chartplotter and recent updates to the gas system, it retains the classic appeal and quality typical of a vessel of its age. The safety equipment is current, and overall, the boat appears to have been well-maintained, though ongoing care will be needed to sustain its condition.

In conclusion, 'Quintet' offers a dependable and well-constructed option for those in search of a motor sailer suitable for a range of sailing adventures.
