The Westerly Merlin 29, introduced in 1984, represents a pivotal shift for the renowned British builder as it transitioned from the rugged, traditional designs of Jack Laurent Giles to the more contemporary, performanceoriented lines of Ed Dubois. Designed to modernize the Westerly fleet, the Merlin was intended to offer a faster, more agile alternative to the aging Konsort and Centaur models. It succeeded by blending a sophisticated hull form with a surprisingly spacious interior for a vessel under 30 feet. While the company's American namesake, Westerly Marine Inc. of California, focused on custom carbonfiber racing machines, the Britishbuilt Merlin 29 became a cornerstone of European family coastal cruising, eventually evolving into the Merlin 28 and later the Regatta 290.
