The Westerly Konsort 29 Duo is a distinctive decksaloon motorsailer that represents a significant evolution of one of the most successful production yachts in British maritime history. Launched in the mid1980s by the prolific Westerly Yachts Ltd in the United Kingdom, the Duo was built upon the proven hull of the original Laurent Gilesdesigned Konsort. While many motorsailers of its era sacrificed sailing performance for interior volume, the Duo attempted a more balanced approach, retaining the robust seaworthiness of its predecessor while introducing a protected internal steering station and a lightfilled "galleyup" or "saloonup" arrangement. The vessel was designed to appeal to cruisers in Northern European and Atlantic climates, offering a "goanywhere" capability that allowed sailors to escape the elements without abandoning the helm. Unlike the highperformance carbonfiber custom builds of the Californiabased Westerly Marine Inc., this Britishbuilt vessel focused on durability, massproduction reliability, and the practical needs of coastal families.
