Small Ships Register SSR01393 - WESTERLY BERWICK 31 YACHT - MANYANA. Sail number 302.
This is a beautiful 5 berth yacht with a large cockpit and roomy interior that I sell reluctantly due to ill health. New sails 2021. She has been in the area in Essex for many years and the two owners before myself were father and then son and they knew the owner before that. I purchased her in September 2020 and have had a shipyard bring her back to full sailing condition professionally. She is fast, I have had her do 8 knots with a dirty bottom and the old sails! She handles easily and has a lovely motion. Excellent Autopilot.
Topsides. Sprayhood with window and dodgers give sheltered sailing in wet conditions but the sprayhood can be dropped quickly. Most lines are led aft via deck tidies to the cockpit for easy single handed sailing. Integrated wheel steering and binnacle compass. Integrated remote control for electric windlass to single anchor with chain. Ships main anchor and chain in bow locker.
There is a folding table for the aft cockpit.
Internally - 2 cabins with 2 /3 berths forward and 2 berths in main cabin and a further 1/4 berth. Forecabin with hatch has a large S/S watertank as original and signed by the craftsman. Many storage lockers. Drinking water is electrically pumped in the heads and the galley.
Berthing up to 5, 1 in quaterberth, 2 in the main cabin and 2 or possibly 3 in the forepeak and there is a substantial folding table in the main cabin.
Aft of forecabin and port side are the heads which is roomy with sink and JABSCO loo and storage. Opposite are 2 large lockers with power too.
Chart - table and instruments and other controls on port side in front of 1/4 berth. Cabin has good internal lighting with some LEDs.
On starboard side near companion way steps is the galley, with gimbled 2 burner cooker and oven and storage with functioning freezer. All gas was checked and hoses replaced and system upgraded late 2020 by a professional marine engineer. Single drainer sink. Electically pumped fresh water.
