Bewitched is the well known Westerly designed by the founder Denys Rayner who having a wartime fear of fire aboard his destroyers incorporated the outboard well which enclosed the outboard motor and fuel tank/s.  The motor slides out on a 'gun carriage' and tips over the stern for use and retracts when not, under a lockable cover !  Very substantially built with two bilge keels and a skeg which lets it sit square when drying out. Has roller reefing mainsail, a Genoa, working and storm jibs.  Outboard is a Honda four stroke B75 (7 1/2 hp) twin for reliability and power.  Motor is fixed with extended handle to control gears and throttle from cockpit. Steer with tiller.  Original 'quaint' engine removed so space can be used for storage or a diesel installed (I have three)  Rubbing strake replaced, needs deckhead painting and wiring/nav. lights sorting.  Very reasonable moorings available.  On hard at present but can be launched into Blackwater (CM0 7NG) Come and have a look !
