Introduced in 1980, the Westerly Fulmar was the second design by Ed Dubois for Westerly, the first being the smaller Griffon 26. It was intended as a replacement for the Laurent Giles 31-footers (Westerly Longbow, Berwick, Renown and Pentland), but was a substantially higher performance yacht, so much so that they were used for match racing and race training. The main production run of the standard Fulmar 32 ended in 1992 with over 400 built, but a very few Fulmar 33s were built up to around 1996, these later boats having a modified transom with 'sugarscoop' boarding platform.

Despite the higher performance, the Westerly Fulmar was a very successful pure cruiser, and a surprising number were until relatively recently still in use as sailing school boats, a testament to their combination of vice-free handling and robust construction.

Many people regard the Fulmar as the best boat Westerly ever built, and 'Yachting Monthly' described the Fulmar as having ".... perfect manners - a light touch on the tiller, good balance and straight running".

In some of their sales literature Westerly described the quarterberth aft of the chart table

as a double berth: it is certainly a very wide sigle or a very friendly double.

This Fulmar is a well looked after example, and after 16 years in the present ownership is only for sale now as age is catching up with the owner, who has in mind switching to a smallaer motorboat.
