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 Westerly's 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 4' 3" 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.
