The Westerly Nimrod 18 represents a pivotal moment in the early history of the British boatbuilding giant Westerly Marine. Launched in 1968 and designed by the legendary Ian Proctor—famed for the Wayfarer and numerous Olympic racing classes—the Nimrod was intended to bridge the gap between a highperformance racing dinghy and a weekend cruiser. Unlike the heavier, more sedentary bilgekeelers that would later define the Westerly brand, the Nimrod 18 was built for speed and transportability. Approximately 190 of these hulls were produced between 1968 and 1971, serving a niche market of sailors who demanded a trailerable boat that could be launched from a ramp but still offer enough shelter for "campingstyle" coastal cruising.
