1979 Westerly Longbow Ketch – ALOUETTE

Monday 29th January 2024

Mark Cameron Yachts are delighted to have been appointed to act in the sale of the 1979 Westerly Longbow Ketch ‘ALOUETTE’.

Introduced in 1972 the Westerly Longbow hull designed by Laurent Giles went on to underpin various other models with differing deck and keel configurations, in excess of a thousand hulls being moulded before production ceased in 1980. 260 of the mouldings were the aft cockpit Westerly Longbows of ketch and sloop configurations. With its modest mast height the ketch version of the Longbow is regarded as a dependable cruising yacht.

ALOUETTE is a nicely presented example of this classic cruising ketch. Sailed single-handed or with only a couple aboard in the current ownership she has proven to be a safe and well-mannered companion. Her inventory highlights include:

• Beta Marine BD1005 marine diesel engine
• Autohelm ST4000 wheeldrive autopilot system
• Autohelm ST50 navigation instrumentation
• Icom IC-M411 DSC VHF
• Plastimo Neptune 2500 gas cooker. 3 burner, grill and oven.
• Lavac manual marine toilet
• Taylors 079KB paraffin heater
• SL Hy-speed manual windlass
• HonWave inflatable dinghy
• Outboard – Honda 2hp 4-stroke

Wintering ashore the Westerly Longbow Ketch ALOUETTE has a planned launch date in early April of 2024. She is available now for immediate viewing by appointment.
