The Westerly Cirrus 22, introduced in 1968, remains a cornerstone of the British "pocket cruiser" movement, representing a pivotal moment where production boat-building moved from simple open-plan daysailers to genuine "little ships." Designed by John Butler for the prolific Westerly Marine Construction Ltd. in the United Kingdom, the Cirrus was a radical departure from its predecessors like the Westerly Nomad. It was the first model from the builder to feature a fin keel as standard, aimed at a market that demanded better windward performance without sacrificing the brand’s reputation for ruggedness. Over its five-year production run ending in 1972, approximately 398 units were built, and the model famously secured the title of outright winner at the 1968 Yachting World Rally. While the name "Westerly Marine" is shared by a modern custom composite builder in California known for high-performance racers, the Cirrus 22 is an entirely separate entity—a classic GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) cruiser built to withstand the rigorous conditions of the North Sea.
