Westerly Seahawk 34 Buyer's Guide
The Westerly Seahawk 34 is a center-cockpit family cruiser produced by Westerly Marine Construction Ltd. of Hamble, UK, from 1984 through 1988, with about 125 hulls completed. On the used market it appears as a short-production Dubois-designed 34-footer offered in fin-keel or twin bilge-keel form, sharing its hull with the Westerly Falcon sloop variant. Buyers shopping brokerage listings should understand both the standard equipment era and the specific hull facts that govern inspection.
Layouts on the Used Market
Every Seahawk 34 is a center-cockpit design, which splits the interior into a forward cabin and an aft cabin with the saloon and galley between. Because the model shares its hull with the Falcon sloop, the constant across used examples is the 34.583-foot overall length, 27-foot waterline, and 12.5-foot beam; what varies is the keel choice, with fin and twin bilge versions both original factory options. The 14,000-pound displacement and 6,171-pound ballast are common to all, so layout differences are about cabin use rather than structural variation.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Used Seahawk 34s commonly carry solar panels, biminis, teak decks, autopilots, chartplotters, EPIRBs, life rafts, heating, inverters, spinnakers, hot water, dodgers, cockpit showers, AIS, and circumnavigation outfitting. These are commonly fitted items rather than rare additions, and a buyer should expect to see most of them on a well-kept brokerage example in this model's markets. No equipment tier below "commonly fitted" is documented for this model, so nothing should be described as a frequent owner upgrade or less-common item.
What to Inspect
The documented specification record shows the Seahawk 34 was available in fin keel or twin (bilge) keels, and any used example must be confirmed for which configuration it carries, since grounding profile and keel-bolt inspection differ between the two. The boat shares its hull design with the Westerly Falcon sloop variant, so a survey should confirm the actual deck and cockpit structure match the Seahawk center-cockpit arrangement and not be confused with Falcon specifics. No survey-derived defect list or structural weakness is recorded in the available documentation, so a standard marine survey remains the buyer's primary defense.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical markets for the Seahawk 34 are Ireland, the United Kingdom, and France. For a shopper, the takeaway is straightforward: confirm keel type, verify the center-cockpit Seahawk layout on the shared Falcon hull, and expect a commonly fitted cruising inventory.
- Confirm fin or twin bilge keel and inspect accordingly
- Verify Seahawk center-cockpit layout on shared Falcon hull
- Expect commonly fitted gear: solar, autopilot, chartplotter, AIS, life raft, heating
- Commission a full marine survey; no documented defect history exists in sources
