The LeisureCat 8000 Westerner is the walkaround model with a difference. It features a larger cab than the StormCat giving better weather protection for crew and a larger rear deck area, while still retaining the walkaround concept that allows more room for multiple fishermen. The cuddy cab has a large stowage area with bi-fold lockup door. It includes an electric toilet. The upholstered forward seats give a luxurious lounge area and have hinged tops to provide additional stowage under. Other standard features include saltwater deck wash, bolsters along inside of gunwales, roof hatch, esky seat in front of the console, electric anchor winch and a marlin board extension with dive ladder. Recommended engine power is 2x150hp to 200hp 4-stroke outboards. The Westerner has all the standard LeisureCat safety features and includes their renowned wavebreaker for that soft ride.

"Our quarter berths have a hard lee board, instead of a lee cloth, so you can sleep on the high side of the boat without falling out of your bunk."

It would be wonderful to win, so please cast your vote here: https://awards.classicboat.co.uk/restoration-of-the-year-under-40ft/ Our friends over at Berthon Boat Company have been nominated for the Classic Boat Awards, in the category ‘Restored sailing vessel under 40ft' for the extensive restoration of Brynhilde, a 1958 Fred Parker 10-metre wooden Bermudian sloop. https://www.youtube.com/c/BerthonBoats This is a testament to the extensive refit, expertly performed by Berthon’s highly skilled team. Well done to all who were involved in returning this beautiful classic sailing yacht to its former glory. The following series captures the extensive restoration of Brynhilde, a 1958 Fred Parker 10-metre wooden Bermudian sloop, who arrived here at Berthon on the 4th October 2019. She has been in her present family’s ownership for the past 40 years, competing in the Hill Robinson sponsored regattas in the south of France for over a decade, and most recently sailed at the 2021 Monaco Classic Week – La Belle Classe. Arriving for a deck replacement but undergoing broad further works, Brynhilde is a beautiful example of a timeless yacht refitted to an incredibly high standard. Traditional skills were used throughout this project. A talented team of Shipwrights, Engineers, Electricians, Riggers and Painters led by Dave Bolwell, more fondly known as Curly, dedicated thousands of hours to the careful refurbishment of a well-loved family yacht. - Restoration Playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLebSOrLsZM0Rr8Ca3NsnONk6tSqyUxQHt - Project Overview https://youtu.be/PKEd8WPQMj8 PART 1 - Arrival & Inspection https://youtu.be/zuZ-W80fBIk PART 2 - Exterior Restoration https://youtu.be/tw2LO662mB4 PART 3 - New Deck https://youtu.be/hh1IVTRsHDg PART 4 - Interior Restoration https://youtu.be/iiB8_5Q-X_w PART 5 - Paint and Finishing Touches https://youtu.be/g6pXaG6g43k PART 6 - Launch & Stepping her mast https://youtu.be/4eNyqHMY8ds PART 7 - Sea Trials https://youtu.be/Xod0o1YF7vU - Deck Teaser https://youtu.be/heYt0sNAkxg Paint Teaser https://youtu.be/qE12_zIOiE0 Launch Teaser https://youtu.be/tVSXG7igTIU Mast Stepping Teaser https://youtu.be/VmaCrYZ5nkE Sea Trials Teaser https://youtu.be/Ic7Qlh_cRn4 #YachtRestoration #YachtRefit #ClassicYacht #WoodenYacht #BoatRestoration #MarineEngineering #TeakDeck #YachtPaint #Woodwork #ClassicBoat #BoatBuilding #Shipwright #Lymington #Sailing #Berthon

Step aboard a modern catamaran and spend your days discovering quiet coves, crystal shallows and hidden bays only accessible by boat. From Sardinia’s Maddalena archipelago to Croatia’s island-dotted coastline, every anchorage feels like a new secret. Choose to add an optional wellness guide for yoga, breathwork or relaxed movement on deck, and enjoy curated onshore excursions that bring each island to life. Perfect for private groups and brilliantly cost-effective when chartered with friends, it’s one of the most relaxed and rewarding ways to explore the Mediterranean. Sailing, sunshine and island calm, all in one unforgettable holiday.
