1990 Westerly Riviera 35

Westerly Riviera 35

The Westerly Riviera 35 is a highly desirable deck saloon cruising yacht offering an excellent balance of comfortable accommodation, good performance, and all-weather sailing capability. Adagio is a desirable twin keel version, very adaptable and easily sailed due to a fully furling rig, with a good inventory including an upgraded Volvo Penta D2-40 engine, electric windlass, hot water, and holding tank. Ideal for anyone looking for a compact but spacious cruising yacht, her twin keels also allow for exploring shallow waters and drying moorings making her a great alternative to a Moody Eclipse or Southerly, and her comfortable layout would suit extended cruising and long-term sailing well.
