Fitted with a Volvo Penta MD2002 (rated at approx.18BHP) diesel engine, driving a three-bladed propeller through a conventional shaft. A rope cutter is fitted to the shaft, behind the P-bracket. A dripless shaft seal is fitted to the inboard end of the sterntube. 

 

The engine has been serviced on an annual basis, or at 100 hr. intervals whichever has come first. 

 

Electrical Systems: 

2 off 110A/hr batteries were replaced in 2022 and are secured within dedicated battery boxes beneath the aft cabin's berth. A battery voltage monitor by 'Victron' is fitted, supplementing the original Westerly-provided voltage and charging displays on the main switch panel. 

 

Charging is by engine-driven alternator and through a 220-240V AC battery charger when connected to a shore support system. 

 

The original 12V DC switch and circuit breaker panel has been supplemented with an additional 6-way switch panel by 'Blue Sea Systems' together with two USB output sockets. 

 

A 16Amp, 220-240v AC shore support system is fitted, with a residual current device (RCD) for personnel and system protection, with a single 13A socket beneath the aft berth and with a second circuit breaker to be able to fit additional sockets elsewhere on the boat. A galvanic isolator is fitted to guard against shore-based ground faults. 

Forward Cabin: A straightforward 'V'-shaped berth may be converted to a double with an in-filling cushion covering the space immediately ahead of the doorway, above the sole. A deep-fiddled stowage shelf is fitted to the hull either side, with deep, flow-coated stowage also found under the berths. Light and through ventilation is ensured by an aft-opening deck hatch over the berth with a ventilator fitted. 

 

Main Saloon: U-shaped seating to port (with an in-filling panel and cushions to provide an occasional double berth) and single, tapering berth to starboard. Two deep fiddled shelves for convenient stowage to either side in this cabin, with all the under berth/seat space dedicated to stowage too (the tanks are beneath the aft cabin's berth and in the cockpit locker). A substantially built and securely fitted table is provided with two leaves and offers comfortable dining for four people as well as plenty of security when moving about the accommodation at sea. 

 

Chart working area: A fixed chart table - with provision for chart stowage within, faces aft to the starboard side of the main saloon. The navigator sits on the head-end of the starboard settee/berth, with their left shoulder alongside the 12V DC distribution panels, VHF radio and radar display. Immediately abaft the chart table is a hanging locker, which, in this case has a removable canvas stowage providing cubby-hole stowage for items of small clothing such as hats and gloves. 

 

Galley: Located to port (to be on the 'downhill' side when hove-to on starboard tack), immediately at the foot of the companionway, the galley is of 'L'-shape, with a stainless steel sink facing forward on a peninsular that accommodates a refrigerated, top opening coolbox. A useful stowage locker is provided within the end of this work peninsula to supplement an under-sink shelved locker, while a narrow shelved locker immediately to the aft side of the cooker was provided too. Primary crockery or large food staples are catered for in the under-side deck locker, with sliding acrylic doors. Freshwater is foot pumped to the sink, leaving the operator's hands free for holding the dishes and is filtered through a cartridge filter unit. 

 

Aft Cabin: The aft cabin is notably generous for a boat of the size, with the berth's area being comparable with other designs of 31' & 33' overall length. A half-height hanging locker is fitted immediately inside the cabin to port of the doorway. Battery containments and the freshwater tank is fitted beneath this berth. Light and ventilation are provided by the standard portlight to the companionway area, supplemented by another opening portlight to the cockpit's footwell. 

 

Heads Compartment: Located to starboard of the companionway steps, this compartment is primarily formed using the same sub-moulding as was used by Westerly in the later Storm 33 - it may genuinely be considered as generous for a 28-footer! A moulded hand basin, with electrically pumped cold water only is provided inboard of a large, under-deck locker. Light and ventilation is by means of a portlight that opens to the companionway bridge deck.
