1988 Westerly Storm Cruiser 33, bilge keel with Volvo Penta 2002 18hp diesel engine. Babar is a tidy example of the Westerly Storm Cruiser, and in fact is believed to have been the first Storm Cruiser built and used as a display model before being commissioned. Her bilge keel makes her the ideal family boat for coastal and harbour sailing. Features include Webasto heating, Raymarine plotter, autopilot and radar. Oven and fridge newly replaced.
