'Happy Wanderer' is a one off 1981 Westerly Griffon (Launched in 1983) which has had 2 previous owners and has been very much lovingly improved by her last 2 owners. The last owner owned her for 11 years after her loving first owner steadily improved her from launch.... She has a lovely and different lay-out compared to most of them with a very useful chart table with space for a 6ft Adult saloon seat & bunk, with a good foot position underneath the chart table for sleeping. So this makes her unique and beautiful with her 2 wooden posts that you are presented with, when coming down through the hatch. She is now up & running but does still require her 2019 Spring Spring Clean, and pressure wash etc.. which is planned to be carried out in early February/March 2019 (Before or After an agreed deal). Her extensive but main inventory includes the following for you:A 2019 serviced and well maintained Yanmar 2GM Inboard with a internal fuel tank.
