Location
Gourock, Scotland
Our Westerly Merlin built in 1985 and purchased by us in 2018 (3rd owners).  She is Bilge keeled and offers spacious accommodation for a 28′ boat.  A NEW Bukh DV 24 engine was professionally fitted in 2012 and was lightly used as the previous owner was unwell (still looked like new). We have enjoyed sailing her on the Clyde and the West Coast of Scotland. The survey we had carried out before we purchased her in 2018 is available on viewing the boat.  She is currently sitting in Gourock on the West coast of Scotland and will be in use during the summer. More photos can be sent on request.
 She is fully equipped and ready to sail.
