For Sale: 1981 Westerly Griffon – “Golden Duster”
The Westerly Griffon was the first model designed for Westerly by the renowned Ed Dubois, and remains a sought-after cruiser thanks to her solid build and capable performance. A quick online search will show how popular and well-regarded this model still is among sailing enthusiasts.
“Golden Duster” offers accommodation for six across two cabins, and features bilge keels with a transom-hung rudder—ideal for drying moorings. She’s powered by a reliable Volvo 13hp inboard diesel engine and is presented in what appears to be very tidy condition for her age.
Lying in West Sussex. Viewings available by appointment.
