Summary

Great example of one of the most popular Laurent Giles/Westerly productions. The Konsort was the second most popular boat built with 812 preoduced over a 14 year period. When you get on board you can see why, as they packed a lot of boat into the 28 feet. This is the more popular bilge keeled version allowing the shallower waters of our beattiful coastline to be explored. For the solo or short handed sailor she is a dream as all lines come aft to the deep and sheltered cockpit. Below decks is comfortable and inviting with berths for 6 over the fore cabin and saloon. She was re-engined in 2019 with an economical and reliable BETA 25hp inboard. Her standing rigging was replaced at the same time. Comprehensive navigation package including Tack-Tick log/speed/depth, Navman colour GPS/Chart plotter and ICOM DSC VHF.

Mechanical

Vessel powered by an 25hp, Beta B25, 3-cylinder inboard diesel. This was installed in 2019 replacing the old Volvo. During the installation the gearbox, propeller shaft, cutlass bearing and waterlock were replaced as well. Engine undergoes an annual service which includes replacement oils, filters, impeller as well as a lubrication of all cables. She has completed 398 hours and will provide good reliable service for many years to come. The engine is situated beneath the companionway and is accessible from the front and the rear.
