Westerly Regatta 330 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Westerly Regatta 330 means coming to terms with a genuinely rare boat: only fifteen were built between 1993 and 1998, and the design is a remodelled Storm 33 penned by Ed Dubois in the final decade of his long Westerly collaboration. As a used purchase she appeals to the sailor who wants a certified-solid, moderate-displacement cruiser-racer without the ubiquity of a high-volume production class.
Layouts on the Used Market
Every Regatta 330 shares the same hull form — a 33.17-foot monohull with a 30.02-foot waterline, 11.19-foot beam, and 5.5-foot fin keel with spade rudder. The single 19-horsepower Volvo Penta MD2020 diesel, 40-gallon water tank, and 21-gallon fuel tank are standard across the class, so layout differences among available boats will stem from owner refit rather than factory variants. The remodelled Storm 33 ancestry means the interior volume follows a proven hull, but buyers should expect the individual character of lightly produced boats rather than a uniform production interior.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Because no equipment summary is available for this model, the prudent buyer focuses on the systems that matter most on a 33-foot Dubois cruiser. The original Volvo Penta MD2020 diesel is the heart of the propulsion package and should be assessed for hours and service history. The masthead sloop rig originally carried 520 square feet of sail on 12 mm sheets throughout — jib, genoa, mainsheet, and spinnaker all at that diameter — so any upgrade to running rigging should preserve that standardization for simplicity. Beyond the engine and rig, canvas, navigation electronics, and comfort systems will vary by owner, and none should be assumed present without survey.
What to Inspect
The Regatta 330 has a solid fiberglass hull and deck, and period specifications confirm the hull material as fiberglass anchor, so a surveyor should look for the usual osmotic or impact concerns in single-skin laminate rather than core-related delamination. The remodelled Storm 33 parentage means the hull shape predates the Regatta badge, and any structural interface from the remodelling should be examined closely.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Regional availability is not characterized by any published market summary, so seekers should canvass broadly rather than expect local inventory. For a boat of fifteen-hull rarity, the buyer's checklist is straightforward: confirm the Volvo Penta MD2020 runs clean; verify the 12 mm sheet set is complete for jib, genoa, main, and spinnaker; check the solid fiberglass hull for osmotic or impact damage; validate the 40-gallon water and 21-gallon fuel tanks; and obtain documentation on any Storm 33-to-Regatta modification work.
