The Kingfisher 20+ represents a refined evolution of the original Kingfisher 20, the vessel that effectively launched Westfield Engineering into the mainstream of British yachting. Designed by R.A.G. Nierop, the 20+ was conceived as a robust, pocketsized bluewater cruiser capable of handling much more than its 20foot LOA suggests. While the "Plus" designation signifies incremental improvements in interior volume and deck hardware over the earliest 1960s iterations, the core DNA remains centered on Nierop’s aeronautical approach to hydrodynamics and the builder’s commitment to heavyduty GRP construction. These vessels were built to a standard of "overengineering" that has allowed a significant number of the fleet to remain in active service over half a century later.
