Westerly Yachts: The Quintessence of British Sailing Heritage

Westerly Yachts, a name synonymous with robust construction and timeless design, stands as a pillar of the UK's leisure yachting tradition. Since its inception in 1963 in Waterlooville by Commander Denys Rayner, Westerly has carved a niche for itself, producing sailboats known for their durability, performance, and classic aesthetics. Despite ceasing operations in the late '90s, the marque remains a favorite among sailing enthusiasts and collectors.

Exceptional Design and Engineering

Commander Rayner's vision came to life in the Westerly 22ft yacht - a vessel that set the precedent for a range of models tailored for various sailing experiences. The '60s and '70s saw Westerly burgeon, earning Queen's Awards for Export and solidifying its place in the global sailing community. Models such as the Oceanquest, Oceanlord, and the Griffon 26 yacht underscore the brand's versatility, catering to both leisurely coastal sailing and the demands of blue-water adventures.

Innovation through Darglow Engineering

Darglow Engineering has continued Westerly's legacy by providing cutting-edge, drag-reducing propellers and rope cutters for its models. Such advancements not only enhance performance but also underscore a commitment to evolving Westerly yachts for modern sailing needs. With technical databases and extensive customer feedback, Darglow supports Westerly owners in maintaining the peak performance and enduring style of their vessels.
