The Westerly Tiger 25 is a definitive example of the "sturdy cruiser" philosophy that dominated British yacht building in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Designed by the prolific Jack Laurent Giles and introduced in 1969, the Tiger was conceived as a performance-oriented alternative to the phenomenally successful, bilge-keeled Westerly Centaur. While the Centaur focused on the ability to dry out in tidal harbors, the Tiger utilized a deep fin keel to provide superior windward performance and stability. Produced by Westerly Marine Construction in the United Kingdom—not to be confused with the custom composite builder Westerly Marine Inc. in California—approximately 290 Tigers were built before production ended in 1976. The boat remains a popular choice on the used market for sailors seeking a compact, seaworthy vessel with internal volume that belies its 25-foot length. Technical specifications and a brief history of the design are maintained by the Laurent Giles Archive.
