Goosewing II is a bilge-keeled Westerly 33 launched in 1980, offering seven berths across three cabins and the classic Westerly interior in sapele wood, re-varnished in 2008.
She is powered by a Vetus P4-19 51hp diesel engine (installed 2012, very low use since) and carries a versatile sail wardrobe including mainsail, mizzen, roller reefing genoa, jib, cruising chute and staysail.
Her layout provides an aft cabin, forward cabin, and a spacious saloon with galley, chart table, and heads. She is equipped with Webasto heating, pressurised hot and cold water, Force 10 cooker, fridge, and modern electronics including radar/plotter, GPS, VHF DSC, depth sounder, and autopilot.

Vetus P4-19, horsepower: 51 hp. This is a 4‑cylinder marine diesel driving through conventional marine gearbox to the stern gear. Hours recorded (Survey, 2012) 2508.2. This is thought to include hours on the previous engine which this engine replaced in 2012 (by previous owner). Very little use (50 hours would be a gross overstatement) since taking possession.
Engine mounts replaced in about 2011 (by previous owner).
Always started easily, level of battery notwithstanding.
