Westerly Oceanranger 38 |
Brief Notes |
Builder |
Westerly Marine, Hampshire |
Built between
1989 and the company's demise in 1999, the Westerly Oceanranger was
a larger development of the Corsair 36 hull, designed by Ed
Dubois as a serious long distance cruiser, but with a good
turn of speed as well as excellent three cabin accommodation.

The Oceanranger has up to eight berths if required, although
few would choose to cruise with that many board. The layout
lends itself particularly well to a "two couples"
usage, with the aft master cabin with fully en-suite heads,
plus the two-berth forecabin with adjacent forward heads,
leaving the saloon unused for sleeping.
The Oceanranger, at 38 feet, represents a large enough yacht
to be a serious passage-maker, in comfort, and at the same
time is not too big for handling in harbour and marinas by a couple.
