The Solution 28, more commonly known in the maritime community as the Westerly Solution, represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of 1980s cruiser-racers. Designed by the renowned David Thomas—the architect behind the legendary Sigma range—this 28-foot 11-inch (8.8m) vessel was commissioned to modernize the image of its builder, Westerly Marine Construction. At a time when the yard was famous for the heavy, sturdier Konsort and Centaur models, the Solution was introduced to provide a more athletic, performance-oriented alternative that could hold its own against the increasingly popular French designs from Beneteau and Jeanneau. The boat is distinguished by its sleek lines, a lead-ballasted fin keel, and a fractional rig, marking it as a sophisticated choice for sailors who prioritize boat speed and feedback without sacrificing the build quality for which British yards were known.
