In the late 1970s, the British marine industry faced a challenging economic climate marked by soaring inflation and labor disputes. Amidst this backdrop, Westerly Marine, already highly successful with its legendary Centaur 26, sought to capture the budgetconscious pocketcruising market. Introduced in 1977 as a modernized successor to the Laurent Gilesdesigned Warwick 21, the Westerly 21 offered pocketcruising utility with remarkably robust construction. Only 53 hulls of the Westerly 21 were built during its brief production run ending in 1979. Despite its low production numbers compared to its predecessor, it remains a highly regarded microcruiser that punches far above its weight in internal volume, structural integrity, and tidal versatility.
