Description
The Westerly Tiger 25 - a classic designed by John Butler in 1968, they were built to Westerly's high standards - this one being a 1974 example. The Westerly Tiger is a beamy boat with great interior space, a well ballasted fin keel with a 4' 3" draught, which gives a good sailing performance. She was re-engined in 1999 with a Yanmar 10hp and it has been well maintained since. She is in good condition and not used much in the last few years. Ready for new adventures. A great value boat.
