Westlin Winds

Westlin Winds is a 36 ft 7 berth Hunter Legend with 3 cabins and with a high specification.

Westlin Winds is based at Bellanoch Marina on the beautiful Crinan Canal. Excellent Crusing yacht and a very comfortable Live aboard — maybe one day. The yacht has just been extensively upgraded and passed the very strict Boat Safety Certification (Nov 08) 4 year certificate held.

Owners: Kenny & Barbara Higgins                                     e.mail: kenny.higgins@btinternet.com

Kip Marina Home from April 2010

Westlin Winds made her return to Kip Marina during the Easter Weekend 2010. It was great meeting up with old friends again and it was good to be home after our two year spell on the West end of the Crinan Canal.

The new season is ahead and we look forward to some reasonable weather with lighter winds than what we experienced in the past 2 Summers. Westlin Winds is due for a lift out this year for Anti-Fouling and we hope to quickly return her to the water during May 2010.

We will miss the far West Coast sunsets but even out on the Clyde they can be quite spectacular
