About the Konsort 29 Westerly Sailboat

Westerly Marine's Konsort 29 represents a compelling entry in the company's respected lineup of coastal cruising sailboats from the 1980s era. Built during Westerly's golden period of fiberglass construction, this 29-footer embodies the British builder's philosophy of creating sturdy, seaworthy vessels suitable for both weekend coastal sailing and extended cruising adventures. The Konsort 29 features Westerly's characteristic solid fiberglass hull construction, known for durability and longevity rather than racing performance. Her traditional lines and moderate displacement make her well-suited for comfortable coastal cruising, while maintaining enough stability for occasional offshore passages in capable hands. The boat's design prioritizes practical sailing characteristics over pure speed, appealing to cruising sailors who value reliability and comfort. Like other Westerly models of this vintage, the Konsort 29 likely offers a sensible accommodation layout maximizing space within her modest dimensions. Her moderate beam and conservative sail plan contribute to manageable sailing characteristics, making her accessible to couples or small crews seeking a dependable coastal cruiser. While not designed for competitive racing, she represents solid value for sailors prioritizing seaworthiness and British build quality in an affordable package.
