Her teak strakes and other fittings will need much work, as also her spruce mast, boom and gaff. Denys Rayner built the Westerly 22 so far above specification that I am confident that this 53 year old boat can be restored and made seaworthy - especially by someone as talented and wise as Whitney Brown. Young Tiger's sad state is not from exposure to the sea, where she's proved herself over many decades, especially in taking Sue Pulford and I across the Atlantic in 1965-66. Her present condition is the result of being neglected so far from the sea where she should be.sibaddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02385376572555781755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927278446954194780.post-82154752871863753112016-02-04T21:26:21.899+00:002016-02-04T21:26:21.899+00:00Interesting to read about Young Tiger, Westerly 22...Interesting to read about Young Tiger, Westerly 22 sail number 68. My dad taught me to sail in Irvette - sail number 69 - in the early seventies on family cruising holidays along the south coast.

The sheer line is acute, and the old rubber sealed windows show reflect it's age, but it has an appealing quality and impressive volume for a 22 footer of it's day.Bursledon Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14020592383830135476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927278446954194780.post-43871372280176744912011-07-29T09:15:14.980+01:002011-07-29T09:15:14.980+01:00What an amazing man!

And on top of that he looks like a film star.<br /><br />Actually I never liked the look of the Westerly 22 at the time. I was only interested in racing boats in thos days and the Westerly looked slow and dull to me. However, in my more mellow old age I now see that she was a clever and practical design for cruising.Patrick Hayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090255988359454330noreply@blogger.com
