The Westerly Pageant 23 is widely regarded as one of the most successful pocket cruisers of the 1970s, representing a pivotal era for the British boatbuilding giant, Westerly Marine Construction Ltd. Designed by the renowned Jack Laurent Giles, the Pageant was introduced in 1970 as a more compact alternative to the legendary 26foot Centaur. During its nineyear production run ending in 1979, over 550 hulls were launched, a testament to its popularity among coastal cruisers who prioritized interior volume and seaworthiness over raw racing speed. Built with a heavy GRP layup typical of the period, the Pageant was intended to handle the choppy waters of the English Channel while providing enough comfort for a small family to spend a week aboard.
