This is a Mk II Griffon, with more interior joinery than the more spartan Mk I boats, or the later low-spec Club versions. This yacht has good sails and deck equipment, along with up to date instruments, and is generally very well looked after. Internally she is in good order, with headlinings better than average for a Westerly of this age. The hull is painted, and she is epoxy coated below the waterline. New sprayhood, standing rigging and a colour chartplotter fitted in 2009.

The Griffon was the first design that Westerly commissioned from Ed Dubois, and was intended to replace the long-running and incredibly successful Centaur. Griffons were built from 1979 to 1989, with three models - Mk I, Mk II and Club variants. The Mk II had more wooden trim and interior lockers than the Mk I. The later Club version reverted to a simpler interior in the interests of cutting costs, in order to be competitive with other manufacturers offerings. These Westerly's were always expensive yachts for their size, the price reflecting the build quality.

Although in most respects a better boat than the Centaur/Pembroke predecessor, rising prices of boat building in England meant that far fewer Griffons were built and sold than the older Laurent Giles designed models.

A new sprayhood was fitted in 2009, after these photos were taken
