The Westerly Sealord 39 arrived in 1983 as the ambitious flagship of the famed British builder Westerly Yachts, marking a significant departure from the company’s previous heavydisplacement designs. Commissioned from the board of Ed Dubois, the Sealord was designed to replace the aging Conway and compete in the premium centercockpit cruising market. It was a vessel born from a desire to combine substantial interior volume with a modernized, more efficient hull form. During its production run from 1983 to 1987, the yard completed 42 hulls, a number that reflects its status as a highend, specialized bluewater cruiser rather than a massmarket production boat. Today, it is regarded as a quintessential "lord" of the Westerly range, bridging the gap between the earlier traditional cruisers and the more contemporary Westerly Oceanlord 41 that eventually succeeded it.
