Built from 1985 to 1988, the Westerly Falcon
34 was the aft cabin version of the centre cockpit Seahawk
which shared the same 34 ft Ed Dubois designed hull. The Falcon
has an unusually large saloon, and manages to fit in two heads,
one en-suite with the aft double cabin.
The Falcon is better looking than the Seahawk, and has a good
performance under sail. The cockpit is spacious, and like
all Westerlys, build quality is solid.
The 34 ft Falcon/Seahawk designs were stretched to 35 ft with
the addition of a sugar scoop transom in 1988, and renamed
35s. The same hull was then used for the Oceandream and Oceanquest
models which continued in production till 1999.
