The Westerly Ocean 49 represents the final, sophisticated chapter of Westerly Yachts’ evolution in the United Kingdom. Designed by the renowned Ed Dubois and launched in the mid1990s, the Ocean 49 was the flagship of the "Ocean" range, a series intended to shift the brand’s identity from massmarket coastal cruisers to premium, bluewater voyaging yachts. Unlike the smaller, bilgekeel models that defined Westerly’s early success, the Ocean 49 is a powerful, centercockpit masthead sloop built for serious offshore passagemaking. It combines a robust, handlaid GRP hull with the refined lines typical of a Dubois design, featuring a moderatetoheavy displacement that ensures a steady motion in high seas.
