Westerly Falcon 34 Buyer's Guide
Shopping for a used Westerly Falcon 34 means chasing a small batch of aft-cockpit Dubois cruisers built between 1985 and 1988, with just 68 ever completed. Most examples you encounter will be the fin-keel or twin-keel aft-cabin layout sharing the Seahawk's 34-foot hull, and the appeal is a genuinely roomy three-cabin interior on a solid Westerly shell rather than out-and-out speed.
Layouts on the Used Market
Every Falcon 34 offers a vee-double forecabin, a large central saloon, and a private aft double cabin with its own en-suite heads, plus a separate forward heads and hanging locker. The chart table sits to starboard beside the aft-cabin door, and the galley is compact but carries twin sinks, a refrigerated icebox, and a proper cooker with grill and oven. The fin-keel version draws just under five feet; the twin-keel boat draws under four and carries more ballast, a point to weigh when comparing the two configurations.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Well-equipped brokerage Falcons commonly carry an autopilot, chartplotter, AIS, radar, and a heating system, usually backed by solar and a wind generator for off-grid power. Canvas is typically a bimini and dodger. Less universal but seen as owner upgrades are an asymmetric or symmetric spinnaker, a furling main, a liferaft, and dinghy davits — nice-to-haves rather than standard. For a buyer, the common power and navigation suite means most boats arrive with the electronics for extended cruising, while the occasional furling main or davits points to an owner who invested in easier handling.
What to Inspect
Verify whether the hull is the iron fin keel or twin-keel version with spade rudder, since keel type drives both ballast (5,732 or 6,171 pounds) and draft, and inspect the keel-to-hull joint and spade rudder stock accordingly. Confirm the Volvo diesel is the 28-BHP MD2003 and check the compact galley's cooker, twin sinks, and icebox for age-related faults. Otherwise, focus on the deeper aft cockpit structure and the en-suite aft heads below it.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Used Westerly Falcon 34s typically appear on the market in Greece, the United Kingdom, and Spain. For a buyer, the checklist is short: confirm keel and rudder type, verify the Volvo MD2003 and its cooling, test the en-suite aft heads for leaks, and check the galley appliances. A well-kept example offers a rare, spacious aft-cabin cruiser with solid construction and a large saloon — just expect to hunt, given only 68 were built.
