Description

The Westerly Sealord is a robust, center-cockpit cruising sailboat built by Westerly Yachts in the UK between 1983 and 1987. Designed by the renowned naval architect Ed Dubois, it was originally launched as the company's flagship. Only 42 hulls were completed before production shifted toward smaller or revamped models like the Oceanlord. Today, it is highly regarded as a capable, long-distance blue-water cruiser.
