Designed by Laurent Giles, in the same general style as the Longbow and other smaller Westerlys, The first Westerly Conways were built in 1974, and at the time were the largest model Westerly produced.

The Mk I Conways had a interior with quite a lot of exposed GRP inner mouldings, but from 1978 onwards the Mk II boats had a much more attractive all-wood interior (though there are still GRP mouldings in place under the woodwork in places).

The Westerly Conways were built for a time with a choice of sloop or ketch rigs, the ketch selling in greater numbers. The same centre-cockpit hull and deck was also used for the Solway which had twin bilge keels. Production of these variants ended in the late 1970s.

With a different deck moulding, aft-cockpit versions of the hull were sold as Medways (fin keel) and Galways (bilge keels). Westerly Conways continued to be built until 1983, when they were superceded by the Corsair.

The Mercedes OM36 engine was one of the optional engines when Conways were built. Delivering 42 hp, these engines are smooth and generally very long-lived and reliable.

Although the basic engine dates from the 1950s, so many of these engines exist that spares are still readily available - see the Westfield website

Although she needs a little TLC - mainly in a few areas of the interior varnishwork, this yacht offers a very comprehensively kitted out serious passage-maker at a good price.
