My son and I had an enjoyable visit to a 38 foot Westerly Oceanranger last week that is for sale. She's 38 feet, 3 cabins, but with a good pilot berth in the passage way to the aft cabin. On this model, there is treadmaster instead of teak decks, and the head linings have been replaced.
This is probably the best condition center-cockpit Westerly we've been on (and we have weeks of sailing on a Westerly Fulmar 32). If you've never been on a Westerly, it's hard to describe how well executed the interiors and overall boat design can be. Good but not "Swan like" joinery, but the most incredible feature is the cavernous, large cockpit locker with it's own large window. There are literally molded steps down to its deep bottom, and it can hold sails, tools, extra tankage, and the dinghy with no problem. Some owners have built workshops in them. I wish other boats we looked at had such sensible storage.
The Oceanranger has done long-range cruising, but perhaps not as much as the larger 41 foot Oceanlord.
