About
Snowgoose is a Westerly Konsort Duo, a bilge-keel GRP cruising yacht and a well-regarded British design known for her solid build, practical layout, and confidence-inspiring handling.
Designed with coastal cruising in mind, the Konsort Duo combines a comfortable interior with a dependable hull form, making her equally suited to relaxed day sails or longer weekends away. The twin-keel (bilge keel) configuration allows her to take the ground safely, opening up a wider range of harbours and anchorages that wouldn’t be accessible to deeper-draft yachts.
Below decks, the layout is practical and welcoming, offering good headroom, sensible storage, and a cosy saloon that reflects the yacht’s reputation as a capable yet comfortable cruiser. Like all Westerlys of this era, she was built with durability as a priority, and that reassuring, substantial feel is evident throughout.
The Konsort Duo has earned a loyal following for good reason: she’s predictable under sail, forgiving to handle, and built to last. She’s not about racing or cutting corners — she’s about enjoying time on the water with confidence and comfort.
Whether pottering along the coast, drying out in a tidal harbour, or simply spending time aboard, the Westerly Konsort Duo remains a dependable and characterful yacht.

About Snowgoose
Snowgoose is our Westerly Konsort Duo, a boat that perfectly reflects what we value on the water: reliability, simplicity, and relaxed cruising.
She’s a yacht that inspires confidence, whether heading out for a gentle sail or spending a few days exploring the coast. Her forgiving nature and steady manners make her enjoyable to sail without feeling demanding, allowing time to focus on the journey rather than the workload.
One of Snowgoose’s real strengths is her ability to make the most of tidal waters. Being able to dry out safely opens up quieter harbours and anchorages, adding flexibility and reducing the pressure of tide times — something that really suits the way we use her.
Below decks, Snowgoose offers a warm and practical space to escape the elements, with everything needed for comfortable time aboard. She’s not about luxury for luxury’s sake, but about thoughtful design that works well and feels reassuring.
More than anything, Snowgoose is a boat that encourages getting out on the water and enjoying it — unpretentious, capable, and full of character.
