Description
The Westerly Seahawk is a popular centre cockpit cruising yacht, ideal for long term cruising with its excellent layout below and well thought of sea keeping abilities. Due to the failing health of the owner, 'Aquapearl' has been a little neglected in recent years and now requires some cosmetic exterior work as well as some internal finishing to bring her back to her best, which is reflected in the low asking price.
