The Westerly 22 is a British trailerable sailboat that was designed by Denys Rayner as a cruiser and first built in 1963.[1][2][3][4]

The design was derived from the wooden West Coaster 20 and later developed into the Nomad 22 in 1967.[1][2][5][6]

Production

The design was built by Westerly Marine Construction in the United Kingdom, between 1963 and 1967, with 332 boats completed.[1][2][7][8]

Design

The Westerly 22 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. It has a Gunter rig or an optional masthead sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, an angled transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a twin fixed keels. It displaces 3,150 lb (1,429 kg) and carries 1,050 lb (476 kg) of ballast.[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 2.25 ft (0.69 m) with the standard twin keels.[1][2]

The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and manoeuvring, although a Volvo Penta M1 inboard diesel was a factory option. The fuel tank holds 22 U.S. gallons (83 L; 18 imp gal) and the fresh water tank also has a capacity of 22 U.S. gallons (83 L; 18 imp gal).[1][2]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on both sides of the cabin, amidships. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and grill to port and a sink to starboard. A navigation station is located on the port side above the stove. The head is located centred in the bow cabin, under the "V"-berth.[1][2]

The design has a hull speed of 5.74 kn (10.63 km/h).[2]

Operational history

The boat is supported by an active class club that organizes sailing events, the Westerly Owners Association.[9]
