Description

Overview
“The Ocean 33 is a modern ocean-going cruising yacht, designed to be fast, comfortable and supremely seaworthy.” — Ed Dubois
Iolair Mhara — meaning Sea Eagle — is a Westerly Ocean 33 and a well-specified RCD Category A cruising yacht. Easily sailed by two people, yet comfortable for a family, she is designed for confident offshore cruising and relaxed coastal passages.
The Westerly Ocean 33 is widely regarded as one of the finest yachts built by the renowned Westerly group. Beautifully designed, strongly constructed and comfortable close to the wind, Iolair Mhara has been in our ownership for more than 13 years. She has been well maintained, upgraded and cruised extensively.
