Merlin 29 westerly
8 / 32 - score 59%
The Merlin 29 westerly is a 29.0ft fractional sloop designed by Ed Dubois and built in fiberglass by Westerly Marine Construction Ltd. between 1990 and 1993.
21 units have been built.
The Merlin 29 westerly is a moderate weight sailboat which is under powered. It is stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a very short water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
