The Westerly Oceanmaster 48 represents the pinnacle of the British yacht building tradition from the late 1980s and early 1990s. Designed by the renowned Ed Dubois, this vessel was conceived as a flagship "goanywhere" bluewater cruiser, designed to compete with the likes of HallbergRassy and Oyster. Unlike many of its lighter contemporary production boats, the Oceanmaster 48 was built for highlatitude passage making and ultimate seakindliness. It features a centercockpit layout and a heavydisplacement hull that prioritized stability and safety over lightair agility. While the name "Westerly" is often associated with smaller bilgekeel family cruisers, the Oceanmaster series—including its smaller sibling, the Oceanlord 41—was a departure into the premium worldcruising market, offering a level of fit and finish intended for longterm liveaboard comfort.
