Introduction
The Konsort is one of Westerly's most long lived designs with over 700 being built over a 12 year period. The Konsort is an impressive package for a 28' yacht: roomy enough for 4 people; safe wide side decks; large stowage space; good engine access and hull speed of 6.7 knots.
Early models have a fold-up table in the saloon. This was replaced by a fixed table with bottle storage in later models.
The size of sail-area is somewhat conservative by modern standards but this does mean she can carry all sail up to the top end of force 4. She is a stiff boat with no obvious vices.
Early boats were fitted with a Bukh DV20. Latterly they were fitted with a Volvo 2002.
