The Westerly Pembroke 26 represents a pivotal moment in British yachting history, serving as the performancefocused, finkeel sibling to the legendary Westerly Centaur. Designed by the esteemed firm Jack Laurent Giles & Partners and launched in 1970, the Pembroke was built by Westerly Marine Construction in the UK—not to be confused with the Californiabased custom shop of a similar name. While the Centaur became the most successful British production yacht of all time due to its shallowdraft bilge keels, the Pembroke was engineered for the sailor who prioritized windward ability and tracking without sacrificing the immense internal volume that made the hull famous. Roughly 160 units were produced between 1970 and 1979, making it a rarer, more soughtafter find for traditionalists who prefer a deepkeel configuration.
