Description

• 2020 survey available.
• Reluctant sale due to health issues.
• The Westerly Merlin hits a sweet spot being compact enough to sail easily single handed (all lines in Rowella lead back to the cockpit) but well capable of extended passages and offshore sailing.
• These yachts were built in the mid ‘80s to compete with the new generation of lighter French yachts. They combine generous accommodation (full height saloon and 7 berths, room for 6 around the table) and the traditional stability and seaworthiness of English yachts with lively and responsive performance.
• The interior is in excellent condition, beautifully finished in mahogany including headlining, and was fully re-upholstered recently.
• The cockpit is roomy and fully enclosed, and exceptionally usable as the backstay and mainsheet both go to the back of the boat and the tiller folds upwards. There is a stowable cockpit table for outside eating and drinking on summer evenings.
• Twin keels allow Rowella to enter shallow areas, and she will sit happily and fully stable on the sand when the tide is out.
