Perkins Perama diesel engine. The Westerly Sealord was introduced to the yachting public in 1983 and was a Flagship yacht designed by the renowned and sadly missed Ed Dubois who had successfully designed a number of Westerly, Southerly, Centurions, and later Waquiez models. Billed as a genuine "blue water" cruiser, she proved popular with sailors throughout the world. This particular vessel is well equipped and has been well maintained since first purchased by the current owner in 2006. Based in Conwy Marina, North Wales, the owner has cruised from the Scillies to the Outer Hebrides for two to three months each year. She returned in August 2022 from a two-month cruise to Ireland, Scotland, and the Hebrides. The owner is now retiring and moving on to other adventures, hence the reason for the sale. Recently antifouled.

With a production run between 1983 to 1987 only around 42 were built over the four-year period. Constructed in the normal robust Westerly fashion they quickly proved themselves as capable offshore, centre cockpit cruising yachts.
