West Wind is presented in very good condition with brand new flexiteek decking in the cockpit and bathing platforms and her 200hp Suzuki four stroke engine has logged only 112 hours from new. Her bow thruster makes docking her very safe and simple. Two double berths plus the cockpit in a light and airy interior also has a small galley for comfortable over night use.
