Westerly Konsort

1983 Westerly Konsort “Dulcibella”

Offered for sale is Dulcibella, a 1983 Westerly Konsort, designed by the esteemed naval architect Laurent Giles. The Konsort represented a fresh and dynamic step forward from Westerly’s earlier models, with a broader beam and a notably more modern hull form that delivered improved speed, stability, and comfort under sail. A true evolution in Westerly’s design lineage, the Konsort combined the robust build quality for which the marque is known with Giles’ refined performance sensibilities.

Dulcibella is presented in excellent condition, reflecting careful ownership and a consistent maintenance routine. She has benefited from regular professional servicing and a thoughtful programme of upkeep, ensuring that all systems are in sound working order.

Her comprehensive navigation suite provides confidence and convenience on longer passages, complemented by a solar panel for efficient, independent power generation. Safety equipment includes a liferaft, underscoring her readiness for coastal or extended cruising.

Below decks, Dulcibella offers the well-conceived accommodation layout that made the Konsort one of Westerly’s most successful models — comfortable berths, generous headroom, and a practical galley, all finished to a high standard in traditional materials.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fine example of one of Westerly’s most admired designs — a yacht that combines reliability, performance, and timeless British craftsmanship. Dulcibella stands ready for her next discerning owner to enjoy many more seasons of confident sailing.
