Westerly Centaur
The Westerly Centaur is the finest small yacht in the world. At 26 feet and four tonnes it is small enough to be easy to single hand and big enough to take the rough stuff. I am confident that a Centaur could handle almost anything the British Climate can throw at it apart from the truly bonkers day when only an arse would be out in a 26 footer .

Westerly Griffon
Manufacturer: Westerly. Price as reviewed: £11,000.00. What's she like to sail? The Griffon (especially the bilge keel model) doesn't like to be sailed too close to the wind, but if you ease her off to around 45° apparent, a Force 4-5 breeze will have her tramping along nicely at 6 knots or more, although making some 8-10° of leeway.

USED BOAT: Westerly Konsort
The Westerly Konsort seems to be a bigger boat than she really is. At a fraction under 29ft in length, her appearance is deceptive because of her generous volume. It's not until you take the helm that you realise you are not really sailing a 34 footer, even though it may look like it! She is light on the helm, super responsive but by the same ...
