The Westerly Oceanlord 41 epitomises the Westerly Yachts signature blend of durability, practicality, and classic styling, and is designed for comfort, safety and long-distance passage making. "Smile" is a centre-cockpit cruising yacht renowned for her robust British build quality, constructed to Lloyd’s Hull Construction standards, and genuine offshore capability. Designed by Ed Dubois, the yacht combines excellent sailing performance with a forgiving nature, making it a natural choice for seasoned blue-water cruisers, and has a long proven history of being easily handled with just two people, whether crossing the Altantic, a circumnavigation, or just coastal cruising.
With her semi-balanced spade rudder and 3.5-ton fin keel she will tack through 60 degrees and her low-aspect coachroof gives good line of sight forward. Handling in crowded marinas is calm and precise, with plenty of acceleration and stopping power provided by the 3-bladed prop, powered by the replacement engine, a Volvo Penta D2 40 with just 10 hours on the clock. This boat comes with a spare mainsail, spare genoa, number 2 jib, trysail, staysail and storm jib. Numerous warps, lines and sheets, along with engine spares are included.
The complete specification list, photos and video walkthrough from April 2026 in this advert should provide an excellent impression of the boat, but you really should view this boat in person - once you step aboard the Oceanlord you will immediately notice the qualities that make it a trusted choice for sailors embarking on long passages, and those content with comfortable coastal cruising.
The deep and lengthy centre cockpit, with rigid windscreen provides a safe, sheltered place for captain and crew, with an excellent view around the entire boat. The cockpit has two-metre (6.6-foot) benches that can be used for sleeping or lounging, a folding cockpit table and a huge cockpit locker that can swallow sails, lines, dinghies and more. The cockpit locker also provides further access to the engine, calorifier engine fed hot water system, 240v immersion heater and the diesel space heater for cosy nights aboard.
All the halyards and running rigging are led aft to the cockpit through clutches and winches on the coachroof, meaning all controls are within easy reach of the helmsman and crew. The Autohelm ST7000 easily handles the wheel steering system. There is a full length removable bimini providing shade from the Mediterranean sun, and of course shelter from the inevitable rain showers.
Achter de kuip bevindt zich een groot vlak dek, ideaal voor het opbergen van een grote rubberboot of reddingsvlot (en perfect voor wie graag helemaal uitgestrekt wil zonnebaden!) Er is een grote roestvrijstalen zonneboog, die de twee zonnepanelen goed uit de gevarenzone houdt, wat samen met de Superwind 400 windgenerator ervoor zorgt dat u altijd voldoende accuvermogen heeft. De boog heeft ook een buitendouche en een davitsysteem voor het hijsen van een rubberboot.
Naar voren toe zorgen de brede, opgeruimde dekken (gebouwd met Firet coremat) ervoor dat u zich gemakkelijk en veilig over de boot kunt verplaatsen, en er zijn voldoende leuningen, klampen, leiogen en stangen voor het vastzetten van lijnen en stootwillen. Het inmast-rolgrootzeil zorgt voor veilig en gemakkelijk reven op zee, en kan bediend worden vanaf de mast zelf, of met de lijnen naar achteren geleid voor veilige en gemakkelijke bediening vanuit de kuip.
On the spacious foredeck, you'll find the detachable inner forestay, which with the two running backstays, convert the sloop rig into a cutter layout. Cutters are terrific with modern furling gear, as one can roll away the genoa altogether in windy weather, leaving a nice low self-tacking staysail in place. This is well back from the bow in the event of work being needed in a gale, and more effective and easier to handle than a storm jib. The bow has a large anchor locker with an electric windlass and a bow roller.
Going below, the Oceanlord 41 offers a spacious interior layout which focuses on comfort during extended time aboard. The boat can accommodate up to six people in three separate cabins, plus two more in the saloon if needed, with two heads. The boat has ample storage space, 450 litres of water capacity and fantastic headroom throughout. There’s also loads of cupboard and shelf space, and you will really appreciate the superb Westerly build quality with acres of solid teak finishes on the cupboards and all internal woodwork.
The saloon is bright and airy, with large windows and hatches that provide natural light and ventilation and 6ft 4 headroom means no stooping for even the tallest of crew. The saloon has an u-shaped settee to port that can convert into a double berth if needed, and a two individual comfortable armchairs to starboard, with a handy drinks cabinet inbetween. The large saloon teak table with cherry inlay on the two folding leaves, can comfortably seat six (or more if you are friendly)
The galley is located to starboard, opposite the navigation station. It has a U-shaped counter with a double sink, a gimballed two-burner Plastimo Neptune 2500 stove, with oven, and grill, a large refrigerator, separate coolbox, and plenty of cupboards and drawers for storing food and utensils. It's the ideal space for cooking at sea with good bracing for the ship's cook.
In one of the galley cupboards you'll find the Victron MultiPlus Compact 12/1600/70 which provides 240v charger at 70amps for the leisure batteries, along with a 4amp charge for the starter battery. The powerful true sine wave inverter for offgrid 240v use features a peak power rating of 2800W for handling high startup surges, and also provides an uninterrupted AC power (UPS function) for when shore or generator power is disconnected - the MultiPlus is automatically activated and takes over the supply to the connected load.
The large navigation station is located to port, aft of the saloon settee. It has a full size chart table with storage for charts and navigation tools, an instrument panel, a seat and storage cupboard. There's a radar screen, VHF radio, Autohelm chartplotter and instrument repeater, Furuno NX-300 navtex, SSB shortwave radio, and car radio / cd player.
Moving back to towards the aft cabin you'll enter the walkthrough cabin with doors at each end. This provides two bunks with lee clothes providing excellent sea berths on a passage. Alternatively, fold up the top bunk and you have a huge storage area, ideal for bicycles, watersports gear and other equipment. There is plentiful storage here with cupboards alongside and a deep locker under the lower berth, where you'll also find the 400amp leisure batteries. This cabin also contains the digital controller for the diesel heater, which also has bluetooth app control and a remote control dongle.
Opposite the two berths you'll find a huge removable panel, providing unfettered access to the Volvo Penta D2 40 - a replacement of the original engine, with only 10 hours on the clock. This large opening ensures very easy servicing and inspection of the engine, fuel and propulsion systems.
Als je door de volgende deur gaat, kom je in de zeer ruime achterkajuit. Als een van de laatste 15 gebouwde Oceanlords van Westerly heeft dit exemplaar de bijgewerkte indeling, met een centraal eilandbed voor twee personen, voorzien van een 2025 memory foam matras. De kajuit heeft ook een kaptafel, een hangkast, laden en planken. Er zijn twee diepe kasten aan beide zijden van het centrale bed, waarvan één voorzien is van een kluis. De achter en-suite badkamer heeft een marine toilet, een wastafel en een douche.
Terugkerend naar het midden van de boot, voordat je bij de voorkajuit komt, vind je de tweede badkamer, met zeetoilet, douche en wastafel en kasten. Aan de overkant is een hangkast van volledige hoogte.
Ten slotte, richting de boeg, heeft de voorkajuit een groot V-vormig bed voor twee personen, met een centrale opvulling, een hangkast, laden en planken. Een comfortabele privékajuitruimte voor familie of bezoekende bemanning, met het voordeel van de badkamer en douche midscheeps naast de deur.
Overall, for those looking for that elusive combination of performance, handling and interior volume, this is the Westerly to aspire to - her combination of classic Westerly build quality, accommodation, and offshore pedigree make her ideal for long-distance cruising, liveaboard use or confident coastal sailing.
