The Westerly Typhoon 37, Dubois-designed Westerly Typhoon was popular and still is due to its fantastic build quality and proven performance and stability, but only 40 Typhoons built between 1990 and 1993, The Typhoon is rarer than most other Westerlys but is definitely one of the best yachts Westerly ever built, if you value performance. The same hull as was later used for the Westerly Ocean 37 – but only a few build before manufacturer stopped. The hull is a solid hand-laid GRP laminate, with GRP foam sandwich deck construction, with plywood backing pads and metal plates under fittings. Westerly has always had a good reputation for build quality, and the hulls have Lloyds hull construction certificates - LIoyds specifications (HCC SOU 016138). This boat is the perfect, safe and quality designed cruiser very comfortable in even rough sea. For a couple or a family either wanting to cruise the oceans, live-aboard or to have her for more coastal sailing, she is great choice in quality, comfort and not least a size that make costs for marinas at a lower level than just a few meters larger boats. Here you have the type of boat that is simply built to last and with quality details and long lasting solutions. Westerly is well known in UK and northern Europe, and often compared to boats like Hallberg-Rassy, Moody and Malö from the years where shipyards build yachts with hull thickness, teak and mahogany interior to last. Here is a lot of classic design but a big factor here is the conventional block and tackle mainsheet system in the cockpit which allows quick, simple, and safe control by the crew or the helmsman. Her deep narrow cockpit is a good design feature. It feels very secure when you’re moving about or trimming, especially when heeled. This 1991, Westerly Typhoon 37 has proved itself in all types of sea and weather, both in the colder northerly hemisphere in UK, along the coast of Europe down to the Canary Islands on the Atlantic to Madeira. S/Y Papaver is now on the hard in Portimao on the sunny coast of Algarve in Portugal, waiting for her new owner. She is really ready to go with the many updates and a brand new Copper Coat applied by SlickHull in Portimao, Portugal! . On S/Y Papaver you get a long list of improvements and updates, as she was made ready for circumnavigation and Blue Water Cruising by her current owner. …. Just look at the specification and the amazing list of updates in later years. In the cockpit, everything is optimally placed so that the boat can be easily sailed by one or two people. You can safely sail her from the cockpit almost without having to go on deck during the sail ,. The high backrests in the cockpit provide comfort and convenience, and under the large sprayhood you are well protected from the elements. Inboard winches allow the sails to be trimmed from the safety of the bridge deck, not hanging off the leeward rail as in many boats. When you come down the stairs to the salon, you are immediately greeted by the impression of quality, with robust, top-class teak interior mixed with quality textiles. The floor in classic teak-and-holly and with good storage spaces underneath. Headroom approx. 1,90 mtrs On the Port side behind the galley, an aft cabin with sofa, wardrobes and good storage facilities. On the Starboard side aft, behind the navigation area, is the roomy head with toilet and shower. In front of the aft cabin on the port side is the galley/kitchen with 1 & ½ sink, gas oven, grill and gas stove and plenty of cupboard space, good size fridge in countertop. On the other side of the galley on the starboard side is the navigation area with everything needed for instruments, communication, and navigation as well as a panel for electrical installations and control of the switch panel. Storage shelves behind the nav station are used for easily accessed items underway. In front of the galley and navigation area you find the large saloon with one C-shaped (with infill cushion to convert to a generous bunk) and one long sofas and a large table with foldable sides between. You can comfortably sit at least 6 people around the table, and if you are more than 3-4 people aboard the saloon has another 2 berths with lee-cloths. A double cabin in the forward part of the boat has wardrobes and storage – even cupboards along the sides, and the former head on portside converted to hanging wardrobe, shelves and storage space and even with fan installed for increased ventilation. The storage space under the V-berth has been remade with three independent crash bulkheads, with waterproof hatches for access, designed to increase survivability in case of collision. The boat has had three owners. The first owner ordered every possible option in the build, more than doubling the new price of the boat, and she still benefits from many of those improvements. The boat had an easy life in the first 5 years, sailing between the Solent and France, and being professionally maintained and laid-up each winter. Her second owner kept the boat for 20 years, taking her to the Caribbean on the 2006 ARC and cruising there for 5 years before sailing back to UK. The current owner bought Papaver in early 2019, in Plymouth, initially cruising in the UK and around south and west Ireland in the summers of 2020 and 2021, before heading south to the Canaries for the winter. The following summer was spent in Galicia (NW Spain), then south again to the Algarve for winter. She was laid up in Portimao for most of 2023 due to medical issues, then crossed to the Canaries again in spring 2024, spending the summer there and around Madeira, before returning to the Algarve in late 2024. The current owner prepared her for circumnavigation, ensuring that all aspects of the boat are the highest quality, with the expectation of trouble-free sailing for an extended period. Improving finances have now led him to get a significantly larger boat and thus let Papaver go to new owners. She is currently UK Part-1 registered but was in Irelandl (EU) during the Brexit transition and therefore has EU VAT Paid status, with documentary proof.
