Cirrus 22 Westerly

Built by Westerly Marine, the Cirrus 22 represents the British builder's approach to compact coastal cruising during an era when affordable family sailing was gaining popularity. This small cruiser embodies the practical design philosophy that made Westerly a household name among UK sailors seeking reliable, seaworthy boats without breaking the bank. The Cirrus 22's modest dimensions make her ideally suited for day sailing, weekend coastal cruising, and serving as an excellent trainer for sailors developing their skills. Her size places her firmly in the trailer-sailer category, offering the flexibility of exploring different sailing grounds while maintaining reasonable running costs. The cockpit provides adequate space for a small crew, while the cabin arrangement maximizes the available interior volume typical of Westerly's space-efficient designs. Like other Westerly models from this period, the Cirrus 22 likely features solid fiberglass construction known for durability rather than cutting-edge performance. Her design priorities clearly favor stability, ease of handling, and practical accommodation over racing prowess. For sailors seeking an affordable entry into coastal cruising or a manageable boat for relaxed sailing adventures, the Cirrus 22 offers Westerly's reputation for building honest, unpretentious sailboats that deliver reliable service.
