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.

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.
