The Typhoon 37 was introduced in 1990, and is generally
a larger version of the Westerly Storm 33. Built by Westerly
of Waterlooville, Hampshire, to their usual high standards,
the design was only moderately successful on the market, many
people feeling that too much space was devoted to galley and
chart table. These very features, however, make her an exceptionally
comfortable boat for those who do not want to cruise with
too many crew aboard!
The hull is a solid hand-laid GRP laminate, with GRP balsa
sandwich deck construction, with plywood backing pads and
metal plates under fittings. Westerly has always had a good
reputation for build quality, and the hulls have Lloyds hull
construction certificates.
