Pre Amble :-
The Westerly Tiger is a relatively little known model from Westerly, being in many ways overshadowed by the huge success of the bilge-keeled Centaur, introduced the same year. Designed by John Butler in 1968, they were built to Westerlys normal high constructional standards - ie much more heavily built than almost all new yachts of similar size sold today.
Although a few inches shorter than the Centaur, they are slightly beamier, and as a result offer very similar interior space. With their well ballasted fin keel and 4ft 3inch draught, the performance is significantly better than the Centaur ( although Centaurs also sail very well ). The Tiger was phased out in 1976 with the arrival of the Westerly Pembroke - a fin-keeled version of the Centaur.
The Tiger is a stretched version of the Westerly Cirrus, with fairly typical Westerly looks, except for no "bow knuckle" as seen on Centaurs etc. They are also slightly faster than Centaurs. Overall, the Tiger is a tough, capable small cruiser.
