Westerly Merlin 28

The Westerly Merlin design was commissioned by Westerly to be a modern and more spacious version of the earlier Konsort. ‘Barbill’ is a twin bilge keel example of the Merlin with a good inventory including freshwater cooled engine, hot and cold pressurised water, shore power, heating, manual windlass and radar. She is keenly priced to reflect the presence of osmosis under the waterline.
