Used Westerly Boats for Sale

British sailing yacht manufacturer founded in 1963 by Denys Rayner and based in Waterlooville, Hampshire — Westerly Yachts was one of the most popular British sailboat builders of the 1970s and 1980s, known for sturdy construction, comfortable interiors, and practical cruising layouts that made sailing accessible to a generation of British families. The Westerly range includes the Centaur, Corsair, Pageant, Nomad, Konsort, Fulmar, Griffon, Storm, Seahawk, Merlin, Riviera, Oceanranger, Oceanlord, and Corsair models, many designed by renowned naval architect Laurent Giles. Westerly yachts are distinguished by their solid construction, spacious interiors for their length, and bilge-keel options that allow drying out in shallow tidal waters — the Westerly Centaur and Konsort are among the most popular small cruising sailboats ever built in Britain, with thousands still actively sailed today. Although production ended in 2000 after financial difficulties, Westerly yachts remain a fixture on the British and European used market, where they are valued for their solid construction, affordable pricing, and the strong owner community that has kept the brand alive decades after the factory closed. Westerly is an important name in British sailing history, representing the era when cruising sailboats became a mainstream recreational activity in the United Kingdom.
