The Westerly Pembroke was built between 1976 and 1979,
as a replacement for the slightly smaller Westerly
Tiger, the change probably having more to do with rationalising
production lines than anything else. The hull and deck, and
most interior mouldings, are almost identical to those of
the much better known bilge-keeled Westerly
Centaur, of which thousands were built from 1968 onwards.
As with all other Westerly Marine yachts the Pembroke was
massively built. This was partly a result of previous building
experience within the company and also a reflection of the
state of GRP technology at that time. All Centaurs were built
to Lloyds specifications which meant that the building processes
were rigorously monitored and all materials had to be approved
by Lloyds in order that a certificate could be issued.
