<br />
Welcome to the Westerly Wiki sponsored by the Westerly Owners Association. Our aim is to make the Westerly Wiki the prime source of technical information about Westerly Yachts. The Wiki is continuously under construction so you will find many empty pages and as this is a Wiki you are invited to help to fill them. The Wiki is an open (public) resource and anyone may contribute material or correct existing entries (see Guidance for Contributors below). However you do need to register your email address (using real names please) and log in to contribute - anonymous access is not supported.<br />

==The Westerly Companies==<br />
<br />
Around the start of 1963 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denys_Rayner Commander Denys Rayner], an established yacht designer (see [[Before Westerly]]), was approached by Hilary Scott, a man of some means, to design a GRP yacht to be built by a new company he wanted set up. Rayner designed the Westerly™ - a 22ft yacht similar in some respects to a wooden yacht he had designed earlier; the boat was subsequently renamed the Westerly 22™. After some discussion, Rayner became MD of the new company, whilst Scott and a solicitor called Michael Hurd became its non-executive directors. That company, founded in March 1963, was called "Westerly Marine Construction Ltd"™, the first of several companies to own the Westerly brand name, and usually referred to as just "Westerly" see<br />
[[A Brief Corporate History of Westerly]] Over the decades that Westerly in it's various incarnations dominated the UK leisure yachting industry they employed the best designers of the day including [http://www.johnbutlerassociates.co.uk/ John Butler], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Proctor#Yacht_designer Ian Proctor] , [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Laurent_Giles Jack Laurent Giles], Chris Hawkins, Mike Pocock, [http://www.duboisyachts.com/Design/About-Us/Team/Ed-Dubois/ Ed Dubois], and [http://www.ronhollanddesign.com/ Ron Holland]; and from beginning to end, Westerly established and maintained a reputation for their excellent GRP layup and strength of build.<br />

<br />
<br />
Westerly produced many brochures during the time they were in business. On this Wiki you will find most of the brochures Westerly have ever made but, very likely, not all. <br />
The good news is that there is at least one brochure for every model ever build.<br />
<br />
Sometimes a model (for example the Chieftan) had different brochures that on first view look similar. The only difference could be as small as another printing date. It is not always possible to find the date that the brochure was produced. In those cases "19xx" is been used.To make this Wiki as complete as possible these brochures have also been uploaded. <br />
If you have a brochure or an advertisement that is not on this Wiki please send it to us. We will make it available on the Wiki.<br />

==Guidance for Contributors==<br />
<br />
This is an open Wiki so anyone can contribute. Please open an account and log in using your real name. The basic syntax is simple so with a little reading through the Help under Navigation and/or the FAQ link below any one can enter material and edit text. For more complex layout editing some knowledge of a language such as HTML will help or you can email the Sysops and leave a request for support at westerlywiki@westerly-owners.co.uk. Contributors should endeavour to review the best available information on a topic and submit a digest of that information to the Wiki. Prime sources of information will include personal experience (preferred), magazines, the WOA Web site and discussion groups such as WOA and Yahoo. Material should not be lifted verbatim rather a digested version should be presented in the Wiki. There are generally several alternative approaches or opinions about any task and Wiki contributors should endeavour to identify these alternatives and provide hooks (follow on pages) to the alternatives. Even if the information is not available to the original contributor someone else can later add that information. Reprints of chatty Practical Boat Owner type articles are not recommended because this is not Wiki style. The "How I did it" article which is suitable for a magazine is generally just one view and the Wiki needs to recognise alternates.<br />
You should also add a Resources section where applicable providing links to suppliers web sites and a References section listing sources of material used in the compilation of the section.<br />
<br />
You can practise here in the [[Sandbox]]<br />

This is an open Wiki so anyone can contribute. Please open an account and log in using your real name. The basic syntax is simple so with a little reading through the Help under Navigation and/or the FAQ link below any one can enter material and edit text. For more complex layout editing some knowledge of a language such as HTML will help or you can email the Sysops and leave a request for support at westerlywiki@westerly-owners.co.uk. Contributors should endeavour to review the best available information on a topic and submit a digest of that information to the Wiki. Prime sources of information will include personal experience (preferred), magazines, the WOA Web site and discussion groups such as WOA and Yahoo. Material should not be lifted verbatim rather a digested version should be presented in the Wiki. There are generally several alternative approaches or opinions about any task and Wiki contributors should endeavour to identify these alternatives and provide hooks (follow on pages) to the alternatives. Even if the information is not available to the original contributor someone else can later add that information. Reprints of chatty Practical Boat Owner type articles are not recommended because this is not Wiki style. The "How I did it" article which is suitable for a magazine is generally just one view and the Wiki needs to recognise alternates.<br />
You should also add a Resources section where applicable providing links to suppliers web sites and a References section listing sources of material used in the compilation of the section.<br />

<div>Attached are the CAD (Step) files for the Konsort fuel tank. <br />
<br />
I didn't put the water drain tap in the bottom of the sump on mine as I don't think it had ever been used and it is almost at the same level as the fuel outlet but if anybody wants it added, let me know and I'll modify the model. Also if someone had the tank with the remote filler, if they send me a rough drawing with the measurements I'll model that one too.<br />
<br />
My new tank was made by jay Wolfe metalworks https://www.jaywolfe.co.uk/. They did a great job and were reasonably priced. The drawings should be able to be interpreted by any decent metal workshop though.</div>Flora1871https://wiki.westerly-owners.co.uk/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=7649Main Page2023-12-12T14:41:16Z<p>Flora1871: /* What's New on the Wiki */</p>

==The Westerly Companies==<br />
<br />
Around the start of 1963 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denys_Rayner Commander Denys Rayner], an established yacht designer (see [[Before Westerly]]), was approached by Hilary Scott, a man of some means, to design a GRP yacht to be built by a new company he wanted set up. Rayner designed the Westerly™ - a 22ft yacht similar in some respects to a wooden yacht he had designed earlier; the boat was subsequently renamed the Westerly 22™. After some discussion, Rayner became MD of the new company, whilst Scott and a solicitor called Michael Hurd became its non-executive directors. That company, founded in March 1963, was called "Westerly Marine Construction Ltd"™, the first of several companies to own the Westerly brand name, and usually referred to as just "Westerly" see<br />
[[A Brief Corporate History of Westerly]] Over the decades that Westerly in it's various incarnations dominated the UK leisure yachting industry they employed the best designers of the day including [http://www.johnbutlerassociates.co.uk/ John Butler], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Proctor#Yacht_designer Ian Proctor] , [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Laurent_Giles Jack Laurent Giles], Chris Hawkins, Mike Pocock, [http://www.duboisyachts.com/Design/About-Us/Team/Ed-Dubois/ Ed Dubois], and [http://www.ronhollanddesign.com/ Ron Holland]; and from beginning to end, Westerly established and maintained a reputation for their excellent GRP layup and strength of build.<br />

Westerly produced many brochures during the time they were in business. On this Wiki you will find most of the brochures Westerly have ever made but, very likely, not all. <br />
The good news is that there is at least one brochure for every model ever build.<br />
<br />
Sometimes a model (for example the Chieftan) had different brochures that on first view look similar. The only difference could be as small as another printing date. It is not always possible to find the date that the brochure was produced. In those cases "19xx" is been used.To make this Wiki as complete as possible these brochures have also been uploaded. <br />

<div>==Introduction==<br />
<br />
<br />
It's now 1974 and Westerly were outselling every other yacht business following the success of the Centaur and the W31s so they wanted to introduce a larger 36' range and did so with the Conway family designed by Laurent Giles.<br />
<br />
Available as a centre cockpit, fin keel, sloop or ketch, most Conways were commissioned as ketches. This is before the days of roller reefing so ketches were easier to handle. For the first time in a Westerly design access to the aft cabin was from the main saloon. They also came with 4 different interior layouts and customers were allowed to incorporate their own modifications.<br />
<br />
Sister yachts are [[Solway 36]], [[Galway]], [[Medway 36]], [[Conway MkII]], and the [[W35]]<br />

== David Brooke-Smith's Definitive Guide to The Conway, Solway, Medway, Galway & W35 ==<br />
<br />
1972 and 1973 had seen the launch and expansion of the 31 foot range (Longbows, Pentlands etc.), so that Westerly were free in 1974 to bring on the Conway, which was to remain their flagship for ten years.<br />
This was a busy time with more than 500 boats built in 1973, which meant that there were plenty of people and lots of money to spend on developing a new design. The Conway was built along conventional Westerly lines with the tried, tested and inexpensive use of interior mouldings. Naturally, Laurent Giles were asked to provide the design.<br />
It looks as though the first Conway missed the Southampton Boat Show in 1974, as the first brochure shot was taken in winter, judging by the gritted teeth of the crew! Indeed, although the first boats were built in 1974, I suspect that none were delivered until 1975.<br />
The Conway was a fin keel, centre cockpit yacht, mostly ketch rigged, although one sees a few of the optional sloop rigs around. Four basic layouts were offered, but as each owner was allowed to incorporate his own ideas, no two of the early boats are quite the same.<br />
In 1975, the hull was used for two variants, the Solway (same boat with twice as many keels), and the Galway (twin keels and aft cockpit). The Solway was the biggest production twin keeler available at the time and has remained so to this day. Certainly, there have been bigger one-off twin keelers (Laurent Giles once designed a 50 footer) but the Conway remains the only popular one at this length<br />
<br />
There were just over 350 of the Conway variants built, and the Solway was the most successful of these with between 30 and 40 delivered. An interesting idiosyncrasy of the design was reported by one owner who complained that his Solway gently sub¬sided onto her nose when the tide went out. Joe Stevenson, Westerlys demonstration skipper of the time, was called upon to discover the reason. He spent a happy few tides shifting gear, alternating angles to the wind as she went on, and generally trying everything he knew to reproduce the problem, but without success. The reason for this strange behavior remains a mystery to this day, but it was generally supposed that it could be put down to fast tides and shifting sands digging a hole under the front of that boat's keels. I firmly believe it was mischievous aliens as I have seen them with my own eyes as I left the New Inn at Shalfleet one night in 1976, and I can't think why no-one believes me.<br />
Meanwhile, back in the real world, Westerly produced the last variant in 1976, the Medway, an aft cockpit fin keeler. The Medway and Galway are rarely seen in this country as most of the few that were built went to Germany and Holland. Numbers are difficult to establish, but there seem to have been about a dozen Galways and 23 Medways.<br />
From their launch until late in 1978, all these boats were produced with moulded GRP bunks and cabin soles, with everything else in sapele and sapele faced marine ply. The 1978 Southampton Boat Show saw the intro-duction of the "Mark 2" Conway with her all wood (Sapele) interior, and, typically of Westerly, a different set of names.<br />
<br />
The Conway and Solway were brought under one banner (Conway) and simply given the suffix "twin" or "fin". Being, as we know, identical twins (keels excepted) they shared the same new interior. Apart from keeping the bulkheads in the same place, almost everything else was changed for the better. Out went the GRP and in came the wood. Other major changes were that the heads crossed to the port side, and were joined by a second heads compartment aft. In the saloon the L-shaped settee on the starboard side was done away with, and a straight settee/pull out double berth was installed to port, while the chart table was made to face forward, instead of outboard.<br />
These were the physical changes, but the effect was to transform her from a good boat to a great one. The new Conway offered the same natural seakeeping ability of the design and the innate toughness of Westerlys build, but a better designed, smarter looking interior which gave a warmer, more relaxed feel as well.<br />
The Galways and Medways were given the same treatment, and were re-named "Westerly 35". I know of only two, a fin keeler in Gosport and one (possibly twin) up North. I have heard that there may be a third, and would like to know where she is. It is important to look after the name of these rare Westerlys, so if you happen to buy the Northern one (currently for sale), please bear in mind that she is a Westerly 35, not a Conway as the ignorant local broker would have you believe.<br />
As you may imagine, the change over from GRP modules to all wood interiors has a fairly dramatic effect on prices. The older Conways, Solways, Medways and Galways can be expected to fetch anything from £30,000 to £38,000, depending on the variety, her condition, age and equipment. The later boats start at £40,000 and go right on up into the early £50,000s, and are worth every penny. How else can you lay your hands on a boat that will take you round the world in comfort, with a well divided rig for easy management, that is capable of outlasting you and your children?<br />
Most of the Conways were built while Westerly had access to the 42 hp Mercedes 0M636 four cylinder diesel. This is a terrific engine, enormously reliable, quick to accelerate, and so quiet that one is hard pressed to hear it from the cockpit on a windy day. Later ones were given the three cylinder 36 hp Volvo, which is another good reliable engine by virtue of being deliciously low tech. Even I can understand how they work!<br />
Finally, during 1981, the Conways trim was replaced with teak to keep in vogue, and in line with the rest of the range. These are the loveliest of them all, but sadly somewhat of a rara avis. How much are they worth?... whatever you have to <br />
+pay.<br />
The Conways represent all the best that Westerly have to offer. Designed to suit the British way of sailing, built to last, able sailers in all weathers, and with an engine powerful enough to deal with the most vicious calms. This was Westerly's Golden Age, when they were building hundreds of boats each year, when their after sales service was a by-word and when consistency was king. Lucky the man who owns a Conway.<br />

== David Brooke-Smith's Definitive Guide to, looks The Conway, Solway, Medway, Galway & W35 ==<br />
<br />
1972 and 1973 had seen the launch and expansion of the 31 foot range (Longbows, Pentlands etc.), so that Westerly were free in 1974 to bring on the Conway, which was to remain their flagship for ten years.<br />
This was a busy time with more than 500 boats built in 1973, which meant that there were plenty of people and lots of money to spend on developing a new design. The Conway was built along conventional Westerly lines with the tried, tested and inexpensive use of interior mouldings. Naturally, Laurent Giles were asked to provide the design.<br />
It looks as though the first Conway missed the Southampton Boat Show in 1974, as the first brochure shot was taken in winter, judging by the gritted teeth of the crew! Indeed, although the first boats were built in 1974, I suspect that none were delivered until 1975.<br />
The Conway was a fin keel, centre cockpit yacht, mostly ketch rigged, although one sees a few of the optional sloop rigs around. Four basic layouts were offered, but as each owner was allowed to incorporate his own ideas, no two of the early boats are quite the same.<br />
In 1975, the hull was used for two variants, the Solway (same boat with twice as many keels), and the Galway (twin keels and aft cockpit). The Solway was the biggest production twin keeler available at the time and has remained so to this day. Certainly, there have been bigger one-off twin keelers (Laurent Giles once designed a 50 footer) but the Conway remains the only popular one at this length<br />
<br />
There were just over 350 of the Conway variants built, and the Solway was the most successful of these with between 30 and 40 delivered. An interesting idiosyncrasy of the design was reported by one owner who complained that his Solway gently sub¬sided onto her nose when the tide went out. Joe Stevenson, Westerlys demonstration skipper of the time, was called upon to discover the reason. He spent a happy few tides shifting gear, alternating angles to the wind as she went on, and generally trying everything he knew to reproduce the problem, but without success. The reason for this strange behavior remains a mystery to this day, but it was generally supposed that it could be put down to fast tides and shifting sands digging a hole under the front of that boat's keels. I firmly believe it was mischievous aliens as I have seen them with my own eyes as I left the New Inn at Shalfleet one night in 1976, and I can't think why no-one believes me.<br />
Meanwhile, back in the real world, Westerly produced the last variant in 1976, the Medway, an aft cockpit fin keeler. The Medway and Galway are rarely seen in this country as most of the few that were built went to Germany and Holland. Numbers are difficult to establish, but there seem to have been about a dozen Galways and 23 Medways.<br />
From their launch until late in 1978, all these boats were produced with moulded GRP bunks and cabin soles, with everything else in sapele and sapele faced marine ply. The 1978 Southampton Boat Show saw the intro-duction of the "Mark 2" Conway with her all wood (Sapele) interior, and, typically of Westerly, a different set of names.<br />
<br />
The Conway and Solway were brought under one banner (Conway) and simply given the suffix "twin" or "fin". Being, as we know, identical twins (keels excepted) they shared the same new interior. Apart from keeping the bulkheads in the same place, almost everything else was changed for the better. Out went the GRP and in came the wood. Other major changes were that the heads crossed to the port side, and were joined by a second heads compartment aft. In the saloon the L-shaped settee on the starboard side was done away with, and a straight settee/pull out double berth was installed to port, while the chart table was made to face forward, instead of outboard.<br />

How else can you lay your hands on a boat that will take you round the world in comfort, with a well divided rig for easy management, that is capable of outlasting you and your children?<br />
Most of the Conways were built while Westerly had access to the 42 hp Mercedes 0M636 four cylinder diesel. This is a terrific engine, enormously reliable, quick to accelerate, and so quiet that one is hard pressed to hear it from the cockpit on a windy day. Later ones were given the three cylinder 36 hp Volvo, which is another good reliable engine by virtue of being deliciously low tech. Even I can understand how they work!<br />
Finally, during 1981, the Conways trim was replaced with teak to keep in vogue, and in line with the rest of the range. These are the loveliest of them all, but sadly somewhat of a rara avis. How much are they worth?... whatever you have to <br />
+pay.<br />
The Conways represent all the best that Westerly have to offer. Designed to suit the British way of sailing, built to last, able sailers in all weathers, and with an engine powerful enough to deal with the most vicious calms. This was Westerly's Golden Age, when they were building hundreds of boats each year, when their after sales service was a by-word and when consistency was king. Lucky the man who owns a Conway.<br />

==DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO WESTERLYS The Conway, Solway, Medway, Galway & W35 ==<br />
<br />
David Brooke-Smith, who has been closely involved with Westerlys since 1983, looks at:<br />
<br />
1972 and 1973 had seen the launch and expansion of the 31 foot range (Longbows, Pentlands etc.), so that Westerly were free in 1974 to bring on the Conway, which was to remain their flagship for ten years.<br />
This was a busy time with more than 500 boats built in 1973, which meant that there were plenty of people and lots of money to spend on developing a new design. The Conway was built along conventional Westerly lines with the tried, tested and inexpensive use of interior mouldings. Naturally, Laurent Giles were asked to provide the design.<br />
It looks as though the first Conway missed the Southampton Boat Show in 1974, as the first brochure shot was taken in winter, judging by the gritted teeth of the crew! Indeed, although the first boats were built in 1974, I suspect that none were delivered until 1975.<br />
The Conway was a fin keel, centre cockpit yacht, mostly ketch rigged, although one sees a few of the optional sloop rigs around. Four basic layouts were offered, but as each owner was allowed to incorporate his own ideas, no two of the early boats are quite the same.<br />
In 1975, the hull was used for two variants, the Solway (same boat with twice as many keels), and the Galway (twin keels and aft cockpit). The Solway was the biggest production twin keeler available at the time and has remained so to this day. Certainly, there have been bigger one-off twin keelers (Laurent Giles once designed a 50 footer) but the Conway remains the only popular one at this length<br />
<br />
There were just over 350 of the Conway variants built, and the Solway was the most successful of these with between 30 and 40 delivered. An interesting idiosyncrasy of the design was reported by one owner who complained that his Solway gently sub¬sided onto her nose when the tide went out. Joe Stevenson, Westerlys demonstration skipper of the time, was called upon to discover the reason. He spent a happy few tides shifting gear, alternating angles to the wind as she went on, and generally trying everything he knew to reproduce the problem, but without success. The reason for this strange behavior remains a mystery to this day, but it was generally supposed that it could be put down to fast tides and shifting sands digging a hole under the front of that boat's keels. I firmly believe it was mischievous aliens as I have seen them with my own eyes as I left the New Inn at Shalfleet one night in 1976, and I can't think why no-one believes me.<br />
Meanwhile, back in the real world, Westerly produced the last variant in 1976, the Medway, an aft cockpit fin keeler. The Medway and Galway are rarely seen in this country as most of the few that were built went to Germany and Holland. Numbers are difficult to establish, but there seem to have been about a dozen Galways and 23 Medways.<br />
From their launch until late in 1978, all these boats were produced with moulded GRP bunks and cabin soles, with everything else in sapele and sapele faced marine ply. The 1978 Southampton Boat Show saw the intro-duction of the "Mark 2" Conway with her all wood (Sapele) interior, and, typically of Westerly, a different set of names.<br />
<br />
The Conway and Solway were brought under one banner (Conway) and simply given the suffix "twin" or "fin". Being, as we know, identical twins (keels excepted) they shared the same new interior. Apart from keeping the bulkheads in the same place, almost everything else was changed for the better. Out went the GRP and in came the wood. Other major changes were that the heads crossed to the port side, and were joined by a second heads compartment aft. In the saloon the L-shaped settee on the starboard side was done away with, and a straight settee/pull out double berth was installed to port, while the chart table was made to face forward, instead of outboard.<br />
These were the physical changes, but the effect was to transform her from a good boat to a great one. The new Conway offered the same natural seakeeping ability of the design and the innate toughness of Westerlys build, but a better designed, smarter looking interior which gave a warmer, more relaxed feel as well.<br />
The Galways and Medways were given the same treatment, and were re-named "Westerly 35". I know of only two, a fin keeler in Gosport and one (possibly twin) up North. I have heard that there may be a third, and would like to know where she is. It is important to look after the name of these rare Westerlys, so if you happen to buy the Northern one (currently for sale), please bear in mind that she is a Westerly 35, not a Conway as the ignorant local broker would have you believe.<br />
As you may imagine, the change over from GRP modules to all wood interiors has a fairly dramatic effect on prices. The older Conways, Solways, Medways and Galways can be expected to fetch anything from £30,000 to £38,000, depending on the variety, her condition, age and equipment. The later boats start at £40,000 and go right on up into the early £50,000s, and are worth every penny. How else can you lay your hands on a boat that will take you round the world in comfort, with a well divided rig for easy management, that is capable of outlasting you and your children?<br />

<hr />
<div>==The Story==<br />
<br />
I had been aware of blisters in the rudder for some time but chose to ignore them until I damaged the leading edge of the rudder on a sand bank in the middle of the Thames Estuary (Middle Sand). At the same time I was aware of a leak around the rudder tube that required the rudder to be dropped for investigations.<br />
<br />
[[File:The rudder.jpg |400px|]]<br />
<br />
After lift out a hole was dug and the rudder dropped. <br />
<br />
[[File:Rudder_removed.jpg |400px|]] <br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Leading_edge.jpg |400px|]] [[File:Top_of_rudder.jpg |400px|]]<br />
<br />
The rudder was damaged at leading edge corner and water was dripping out.<br />
<br />
With the rudder upside down water also came out from around the shaft on the top edge.<br />
<br />
[[File: Poppedblisters.jpg|400px|]] <br />
<br />
Since repairs were obviously going to be required to the bottom of the rudder I decided to investigate the some blisters.<br />
<br />
The blisters were not what I expected as osmotic blisters seeming to be more like the intact gel coat being forced away from the core over an area of about 1.0" to 1.5" diameter. <br />
<br />
This is not obvious in the pictures.<br />
After opening up some of the blisters they all were wet inside.<br />
<br />
==Drying Out==<br />
<br />
[[File:Drying_out.jpg |400px|]]<br />
<br />
<br />
The hole along the bottom of the rudder was opened up as a groove along the full length of the rudder and the rudder was set up in a shed to allow it to dry.Water continued to drip out through November, December and January but at the beginning of February it was dry enough to pass over to the local fibre glass shop with instructions to repair the bottom and seal the holes up.<br />
<br />
<br />
The bottom was repaired but when the holes were investigated inside it was found the gel coat was damaged. There were holes possibly as a result of previous attempts to repair osmotic blisters. The holes had been filled but had not been reinforced with glass and the filler was actually soft.<br />
<br />
==Peeling the Gel Coat==<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File: Peeled.jpg|600px|]] <br />
<br />
It was decided that the whole of the rudder needed to be peeled. This was done with an electric planer revealing the laminate underneath to be dry and in good condition.<br />
<br />
Now one thing in common with fibre glass shops is they are not delicate. <br />
<br />
As can be seen a test core was drilled through the blade and a hole routed out near the shaft to expose the steel underneath.<br />
<br />
Inside the Rudder the steel work can be seen to be bright and the welds are in excellent condition. Quality Westerly construction<br />
<br />
[[File: Inside_the_rudder_1.jpg|400px|]] <br />
<br />
The rudder was found to be cored with a grey aireated resin which although crumbly had not absorbed water. <br />
It was concluded that the water inside the rudder was between the core and the inside of the gel coat resulting in the large area blisters observed.<br />
<br />
[[File:Close_up_of_inside.jpg |400px|]]<br />
<br />
The rudder is currently waiting for some bad weather so the fibre glass shop can work on it (as they can't work outside)<br />
<br />
[[File:Test hole refilled.jpg |400px|]]<br />
<br />
The test hole has been filled with solid resin and the next step is to recover both sides of the core with laminate (peel ply) gel coat. I am told that will be done by the end of the week so hope to load a picture soon.<br />
<br />
[[File: Reskinned.jpg|600px|]] [[File: Rudder_back.jpg|600px|]]<br />
<br />
==Advice if you have blisters in your rudder==<br />
<br />
I suppose my advice would be dont despair it is fixable and you wont need a new rudder. If you choose to spot treat your blisters that is probably a good idea but do not just fill the holes. Make sure you do a proper repair and seal up with resin, glass and then gel coat to waterproof the area. Also seal (sikaflex) round the top of the shaft.<br />
<br />
The idea of drilling a hole in the bottom of the rudder to drain it is not really going to work as the core is so solid and the water will sit under the gel coat. <br />
This is the second rudder I know of that has been opened up and the steel work found to be in good condition.<br />
<br />
Or you can just leave it until like me you have to do something and then have the rudder rebuilt.</div>Flora1871https://wiki.westerly-owners.co.uk/index.php?title=Yard_Numbers,_Sail_Numbers,_and_Hull_Numbers&diff=7534Yard Numbers, Sail Numbers, and Hull Numbers2022-10-28T20:46:23Z<p>Flora1871: </p>
<hr />
<div>The '''Yard Number''' is the definitive way to identify a Westerly, because it is unique to each boat. It is the number on the plate in the hatchway. It is sometimes also found impressed into the hull (Storm's have been seen with it on the transom in the centre at the waterline) and into the deck moulding, usually in the cockpit well. It has also been found on cabin fixtures and fittings, written in pencil or wax crayon on the underside of removable wood panels such as locker lids, on various parts such as skin fittings, and it has also been seen in the forecabin moulding of a Tiger, so it pays to have a search.<br />
<br />
The Yard Number consists of a letter then some numbers i.e. A123. The very early Rayner designs used a system that is slightly different from that used on the Laurent Giles designs, and the very late models used a slightly different system again. The digits represent the number of that specific hull.<br />
<br />
The '''Sail Number''' is usually, but not always, a different number to the Yard Number. Some boats were registered internationally so weren't given class numbers (GK24s for example). Sail numbers were issued numerically and in series when orders were placed, but if orders were cancelled the next ordered Sail Number was issued to the next hull coming off the production line. As the hulls were coming off the production line in numerical order, the Sail Number issued to it was the next ordered and paid for Sail Number. In this way, Sail Numbers and Yard Numbers got jumbled up. A further complication to be added into the mix is that some designs used the same hull but different deck mouldings. In addition, it is known that some numbers were specifically requested by new purchasers, and Westerly granted those requests. And some numbers were just not issued - 666 being a good example. And, of course, over time sails are bought and sold, and it is not unknown to have Westerly's using a sail that was not supplied with the boat!<br />
<br />
The '''Hull Numbers''' were stamped into the moulding of the hull on the stern of the boat on either the port or starboard side near the top of the hull. It is linked to the Certificate of Hull Construction number issued by Lloyds Register of Shipping and is in the form ABC 123456. The vast majority were issued by the Southampton office, so start with SOU, and invariably the last 2 digits indicate the year the hull was laid up. There is an example of a 1977 Centaur Hull Number here: [2]. Early Centaurs (prior to 1973?....any advances on '73?) do not appear to have this.<br />
<br />
If by chance your boat's Yard Number and Sail Number coincide, that is a rare occurrence on most Westerly's. Some did match - Corsairs for example, will match. More often than not the numbers do not coincide and a Yard Number 219 does not mean that the Sail Number is 219. For example the Renown shares the same hull with the Longbow, and the very first Renown built, sail number R1, has a Yard Number of O036. The original author of this submission owned a Renown that had a sail number of R129 but a Yard Number of O243 (note that is O as in Oscar).<br />
<br />
You may find a reference to an '''ON''' number. This is sometimes on a wooden plaque in the saloon. The "ON" number is the official number from British Part 1 registration of your boat. It has to be renewed every 5 years. Additionally there may a plaque with an '''RT''' number, for example "RT 11 98/100. This is the Part 1 registered tonnage.<br />
<br />
The Small Ships Register is an alternative and cheaper place to register your boat. If your boat is SSR registered it will have an SSR number displayed in large letters.<br />
<br />
In addition EU boats after 1998 will have a HIN per the RCD. Westerly Hull numbers are similar to a HIN but mostly predate the standard<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''Yard Number''' is the definitive way to identify a Westerly, because it is unique to each boat. It is the number on the plate in the hatchway. It is sometimes also found impressed into the hull (Storm's have been seen with it on the transom in the centre at the waterline) and into the deck moulding, usually in the cockpit well. It has also been found on cabin fixtures and fittings, written in pencil or wax crayon on the underside of removable wood panels such as locker lids, on various parts such as skin fittings, and it has also been seen in the forecabin moulding of a Tiger, so it pays to have a search.<br />
<br />
The Yard Number consists of a letter then some numbers i.e. A123. The very early Rayner designs used a system that is slightly different from that used on the Laurent Giles designs, and the very late models used a slightly different system again. The digits represent the number of that specific hull.<br />
<br />
The '''Sail Number''' is usually, but not always, a different number to the Yard Number. Some boats were registered internationally so weren't given class numbers (GK24s for example). Sail numbers were issued numerically and in series when orders were placed, but if orders were cancelled the next ordered Sail Number was issued to the next hull coming off the production line. As the hulls were coming off the production line in numerical order, the Sail Number issued to it was the next ordered and paid for Sail Number. In this way, Sail Numbers and Yard Numbers got jumbled up. A further complication to be added into the mix is that some designs used the same hull but different deck mouldings. In addition, it is known that some numbers were specifically requested by new purchasers, and Westerly granted those requests. And some numbers were just not issued - 666 being a good example. And, of course, over time sails are bought and sold, and it is not unknown to have Westerly's using a sail that was not supplied with the boat!<br />
<br />
The '''Hull Numbers''' were stamped into the moulding of the hull on the stern of the boat on either the port or starboard side near the top of the hull. It is linked to the Certificate of Hull Construction number issued by Lloyds Register of Shipping and is in the form ABC 123456. The vast majority were issued by the Southampton office, so start with SOU, and invariably the last 2 digits indicate the year the hull was laid up. There is an example of a 1977 Centaur Hull Number here: [2]. Early Centaurs (prior to 1973?....any advances on '73?) do not appear to have this.<br />
<br />
If by chance your boat's Yard Number and Sail Number coincide, that is a rare occurrence on most Westerly's. Some did match - Corsairs for example, will match. More often than not the numbers do not coincide and a Yard Number 219 does not mean that the Sail Number is 219. For example the Renown shares the same hull with the Longbow, and the very first Renown built, sail number R1, has a Yard Number of O036. The original author of this submission owned a Renown that had a sail number of R129 but a Yard Number of O243 (note that is O as in Oscar).<br />
<br />
You may find a reference to an '''ON''' number. This is sometimes on a wooden plaque in the saloon. The "ON" number is the official number from British Part 1 registration of your boat. It has to be renewed every 5 years. Additionally there may a plaque with an '''RT''' number, for example "RT 11 98/100. This is the Part 1 registered tonnage.<br />
<br />
The Small Ships Register is an alternative and cheaper place to register your boat. If your boat is SSR registered it will have an SSR number displayed in large letters.<br />
In addition EU boats after 1998 will have a HIN per the RCD. Westerly Hull numbers are similar to a HIN but mostly predate the standard<br />

==The Westerly Companies==<br />
<br />
Around the start of 1963 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denys_Rayner Commander Denys Rayner], an established yacht designer (see [[Before Westerly]]), was approached by Hilary Scott, a man of some means, to design a GRP yacht to be built by a new company he wanted set up. Rayner designed the Westerly™ - a 22ft yacht similar in some respects to a wooden yacht he had designed earlier; the boat was subsequently renamed the Westerly 22™. After some discussion, Rayner became MD of the new company, whilst Scott and a solicitor called Michael Hurd became its non-executive directors. That company, founded in March 1963, was called "Westerly Marine Construction Ltd"™, the first of several companies to own the Westerly brand name, and usually referred to as just "Westerly" see<br />
[[A Brief Corporate History of Westerly]] Over the decades that Westerly in it's various incarnations dominated the UK leisure yachting industry they employed the best designers of the day including [http://www.johnbutlerassociates.co.uk/ John Butler], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Proctor#Yacht_designer Ian Proctor] , [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Laurent_Giles Jack Laurent Giles], Chris Hawkins, Mike Pocock, [http://www.duboisyachts.com/Design/About-Us/Team/Ed-Dubois/ Ed Dubois], and [http://www.ronhollanddesign.com/ Ron Holland]; and from beginning to end, Westerly established and maintained a reputation for their excellent GRP layup and strength of build.<br />

<br />
<br />
Westerly produced many brochures during the time they were in business. On this Wiki you will find most of the brochures Westerly have ever made but, very likely, not all. <br />
The good news is that there is at least one brochure for every model ever build.<br />
<br />
Sometimes a model (for example the Chieftan) had different brochures that on first view look similar. The only difference could be as small as another printing date. It is not always possible to find the date that the brochure was produced. In those cases "19xx" is been used.To make this Wiki as complete as possible these brochures have also been uploaded. <br />
If you have a brochure or an advertisement that is not on this Wiki please send it to us. We will make it available on the Wiki.<br />

<br />
This is an open Wiki so anyone can contribute. Please open an account and log in using your real name. The basic syntax is simple so with a little reading through the Help under Navigation and/or the FAQ link below any one can enter material and edit text. For more complex layout editing some knowledge of a language such as HTML will help or you can email the Sysops and leave a request for support at westerlywiki@westerly-owners.co.uk. Contributors should endeavour to review the best available information on a topic and submit a digest of that information to the Wiki. Prime sources of information will include personal experience (preferred), magazines, the WOA Web site and discussion groups such as WOA and Yahoo. Material should not be lifted verbatim rather a digested version should be presented in the Wiki. There are generally several alternative approaches or opinions about any task and Wiki contributors should endeavour to identify these alternatives and provide hooks (follow on pages) to the alternatives. Even if the information is not available to the original contributor someone else can later add that information. Reprints of chatty Practical Boat Owner type articles are not recommended because this is not Wiki style. The "How I did it" article which is suitable for a magazine is generally just one view and the Wiki needs to recognise alternates.<br />
You should also add a Resources section where applicable providing links to suppliers web sites and a References section listing sources of material used in the compilation of the section.<br />

You can practise here in the [[Sandbox]]<br />

Westerly produced many brochures during the time they were in business. On this Wiki you will find most of the brochures Westerly have ever made but, very likely, not all. <br />
The good news is that there is at least one brochure for every model ever build.<br />
<br />
Sometimes a model (for example the Chieftan) had different brochures that on first view look similar. The only difference could be as small as another printing date. It is not always possible to find the date that the brochure was produced. In those cases "19xx" is been used.To make this Wiki as complete as possible these brochures have also been uploaded. <br />
If you have a brochure or an advertisement that is not on this Wiki please send it to us. We will make it available on the Wiki.<br />

==Guidance for Contributors==<br />
<br />
This is an open Wiki so anyone can contribute. Please open an account and log in using your real name. The basic syntax is simple so with a little reading through the Help under Navigation and/or the FAQ link below any one can enter material and edit text. For more complex layout editing some knowledge of a language such as HTML will help or you can email the Sysops and leave a request for support at westerlywiki@westerly-owners.co.uk. Contributors should endeavour to review the best available information on a topic and submit a digest of that information to the Wiki. Prime sources of information will include personal experience (preferred), magazines, the WOA Web site and discussion groups such as WOA and Yahoo. Material should not be lifted verbatim rather a digested version should be presented in the Wiki. There are generally several alternative approaches or opinions about any task and Wiki contributors should endeavour to identify these alternatives and provide hooks (follow on pages) to the alternatives. Even if the information is not available to the original contributor someone else can later add that information. Reprints of chatty Practical Boat Owner type articles are not recommended because this is not Wiki style. The "How I did it" article which is suitable for a magazine is generally just one view and the Wiki needs to recognise alternates.<br />
You should also add a Resources section where applicable providing links to suppliers web sites and a References section listing sources of material used in the compilation of the section.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[File:Example.jpg]]The '''Yard Number''' is the definitive way to identify a Westerly, because it is unique to each boat. It is the number on the plate in the hatchway. It is sometimes also found impressed into the hull (Storm's have been seen with it on the transom in the centre at the waterline) and into the deck moulding, usually in the cockpit well. It has also been found on cabin fixtures and fittings, written in pencil or wax crayon on the underside of removable wood panels such as locker lids, on various parts such as skin fittings, and it has also been seen in the forecabin moulding of a Tiger, so it pays to have a search.<br />
<br />
The Yard Number consists of a letter then some numbers i.e. A123. The very early Rayner designs used a system that is slightly different from that used on the Laurent Giles designs, and the very late models used a slightly different system again. The digits represent the number of that specific hull.<br />
<br />
The '''Sail Number''' is usually, but not always, a different number to the Yard Number. Some boats were registered internationally so weren't given class numbers (GK24s for example). Sail numbers were issued numerically and in series when orders were placed, but if orders were cancelled the next ordered Sail Number was issued to the next hull coming off the production line. As the hulls were coming off the production line in numerical order, the Sail Number issued to it was the next ordered and paid for Sail Number. In this way, Sail Numbers and Yard Numbers got jumbled up. A further complication to be added into the mix is that some designs used the same hull but different deck mouldings. In addition, it is known that some numbers were specifically requested by new purchasers, and Westerly granted those requests. And some numbers were just not issued - 666 being a good example. And, of course, over time sails are bought and sold, and it is not unknown to have Westerly's using a sail that was not supplied with the boat!<br />
<br />
The '''Hull Numbers''' were stamped into the moulding of the hull on the stern of the boat on either the port or starboard side near the top of the hull. It is linked to the Certificate of Hull Construction number issued by Lloyds Register of Shipping and is in the form ABC 123456. The vast majority were issued by the Southampton office, so start with SOU, and invariably the last 2 digits indicate the year the hull was laid up. There is an example of a 1977 Centaur Hull Number here: [2]. Early Centaurs (prior to 1973?....any advances on '73?) do not appear to have this.<br />
<br />
If by chance your boat's Yard Number and Sail Number coincide, that is a rare occurrence on most Westerly's. Some did match - Corsairs for example, will match. More often than not the numbers do not coincide and a Yard Number 219 does not mean that the Sail Number is 219. For example the Renown shares the same hull with the Longbow, and the very first Renown built, sail number R1, has a Yard Number of O036. The original author of this submission owned a Renown that had a sail number of R129 but a Yard Number of O243 (note that is O as in Oscar).<br />
<br />
You may find a reference to an '''ON''' number. This is sometimes on a wooden plaque in the saloon. The "ON" number is the official number from British Part 1 registration of your boat. It has to be renewed every 5 years. Additionally there may a plaque with an '''RT''' number, for example "RT 11 98/100. This is the Part 1 registered tonnage.<br />
<br />
The Small Ships Register is an alternative and cheaper place to register your boat. If your boat is SSR registered it will have an SSR number displayed in large letters.<br />

==The Westerly Companies==<br />
<br />
Around the start of 1963 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denys_Rayner Commander Denys Rayner], an established yacht designer (see [[Before Westerly]]), was approached by Hilary Scott, a man of some means, to design a GRP yacht to be built by a new company he wanted set up. Rayner designed the Westerly™ - a 22ft yacht similar in some respects to a wooden yacht he had designed earlier; the boat was subsequently renamed the Westerly 22™. After some discussion, Rayner became MD of the new company, whilst Scott and a solicitor called Michael Hurd became its non-executive directors. That company, founded in March 1963, was called "Westerly Marine Construction Ltd"™, the first of several companies to own the Westerly brand name, and usually referred to as just "Westerly" see<br />
[[A Brief Corporate History of Westerly]] Over the decades that Westerly in it's various incarnations dominated the UK leisure yachting industry they employed the best designers of the day including [http://www.johnbutlerassociates.co.uk/ John Butler], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Proctor#Yacht_designer Ian Proctor] , [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Laurent_Giles Jack Laurent Giles], Chris Hawkins, Mike Pocock, [http://www.duboisyachts.com/Design/About-Us/Team/Ed-Dubois/ Ed Dubois], and [http://www.ronhollanddesign.com/ Ron Holland]; and from beginning to end, Westerly established and maintained a reputation for their excellent GRP layup and strength of build.<br />

Westerly produced many brochures during the time they were in business. On this Wiki you will find most of the brochures Westerly have ever made but, very likely, not all. <br />
The good news is that there is at least one brochure for every model ever build.<br />
<br />
Sometimes a model (for example the Chieftan) had different brochures that on first view look similar. The only difference could be as small as another printing date. It is not always possible to find the date that the brochure was produced. In those cases "19xx" is been used.To make this Wiki as complete as possible these brochures have also been uploaded. <br />
If you have a brochure or an advertisement that is not on this Wiki please send it to us. We will make it available on the Wiki.<br />

This is an open Wiki so anyone can contribute. Please open an account and log in using your real name. The basic syntax is simple so with a little reading through the Help under Navigation and/or the FAQ link below any one can enter material and edit text. For more complex layout editing some knowledge of a language such as HTML will help or you can email the Sysops and leave a request for support at westerlywiki@westerly-owners.co.uk. Contributors should endeavour to review the best available information on a topic and submit a digest of that information to the Wiki. Prime sources of information will include personal experience (preferred), magazines, the WOA Web site and discussion groups such as WOA and Yahoo. Material should not be lifted verbatim rather a digested version should be presented in the Wiki. There are generally several alternative approaches or opinions about any task and Wiki contributors should endeavour to identify these alternatives and provide hooks (follow on pages) to the alternatives. Even if the information is not available to the original contributor someone else can later add that information. Reprints of chatty Practical Boat Owner type articles are not recommended because this is not Wiki style. The "How I did it" article which is suitable for a magazine is generally just one view and the Wiki needs to recognise alternates.<br />
You should also add a Resources section where applicable providing links to suppliers web sites and a References section listing sources of material used in the compilation of the section.<br />

<div>Keel bolts<br />
<br />
On Westerlys' built since 1978, the studs have been metric, usually in the main part of the keel the studs are 24mm diameter, on the leading edge they may be 20mm diameter, and on the trailing edge of the keel 14mm diameter. However on Westerlys' built before 1978 as far back as 1975, the stud size could be Whitworth (1”, ¾”, or ½” respectively) or metric. Craft built before 1975 will almost certainly have Whitworth threads (B.S.W).<br />
In the case of the metric nuts, the across flats measurements (A/F) are 36mm, 25mm and 17mm, respectively. <br />
Clean off covering gel coat (this is there for cosmetic purposes and for locking the nut to the thread), if the gel coat is not cleaned away thoroughly there may be a danger when undoing the nuts of unwinding the stud from the heel, and this is to be avoided if possible.<br />
Sealant recommended Polysulphide best applied whilst dried out. A ringlet of caulking cotton may be used.<br />
Westerly did not use torque setting for keel nuts. As a rough guide 24mm studs should be tightened to approximately 150ft.lbs (approx 20.75kg/m), the 20mm stud to approximately 85ft.lbs (11.75 kg/m) and the 14mm to approximately 55 ft.lbs (7.60 kg/m).<br />
The lock nut should be tightened to around 30% of the full nut<br />

==The Westerly Companies==<br />
<br />
Around the start of 1963 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denys_Rayner Commander Denys Rayner], an established yacht designer (see [[Before Westerly]]), was approached by Hilary Scott, a man of some means, to design a GRP yacht to be built by a new company he wanted set up. Rayner designed the Westerly™ - a 22ft yacht similar in some respects to a wooden yacht he had designed earlier; the boat was subsequently renamed the Westerly 22™. After some discussion, Rayner became MD of the new company, whilst Scott and a solicitor called Michael Hurd became its non-executive directors. That company, founded in March 1963, was called "Westerly Marine Construction Ltd"™, the first of several companies to own the Westerly brand name, and usually referred to as just "Westerly" see<br />
[[A Brief Corporate History of Westerly]] Over the decades that Westerly in it's various incarnations dominated the UK leisure yachting industry they employed the best designers of the day including [http://www.johnbutlerassociates.co.uk/ John Butler], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Proctor#Yacht_designer Ian Proctor] , [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Laurent_Giles Jack Laurent Giles], Chris Hawkins, Mike Pocock, [http://www.duboisyachts.com/Design/About-Us/Team/Ed-Dubois/ Ed Dubois], and [http://www.ronhollanddesign.com/ Ron Holland]; and from beginning to end, Westerly established and maintained a reputation for their excellent GRP layup and strength of build.<br />

In the case of the metric nuts, the across flats measurements (A/F) are 36mm, 25mm and 17mm, respectively. <br />
Clean off covering gel coat (this is there for cosmetic purposes and for locking the nut to the thread), if the gel coat is not cleaned away thoroughly there may be a danger when undoing the nuts of unwinding the stud from the heel, and this is to be avoided if possible.<br />
Sealant recommended Polysulphide best applied whilst dried out. A ringlet of caulking cotton may be used.<br />
Westerly did not use torque setting for keel nuts. As a rough guide 24mm studs should be tightened to approximately 150ft.lbs (approx 20.75kg/m), the 20mm stud to approximately 85ft.lbs (11.75 kg/m) and the 14mm to approximately 55 ft.lbs (7.60 kg/m).<br />
The lock nut should be tightened to around 30% of the full nut<br />

<br />
Westerly Group actively pursues a policy of continual product and production improvement and development. From this process and in conjunction with the WOA, our attention has been drawn to a potential problem with some of the earlier designs that could be potentially dangerous. <br />
<br />
The problem has been identified as the aft lower chainplate of the U-bolt type which have not been cranked. Due to the loads on this fitting and that it does not fully align with the shroud, a levering effect can cause the fitting to break at the thread. As this is below deck, and therefore not apparent from a cursory inspection, it is only possible to see a potential failure by the removal of the fitting from the deck. <br />
<br />
The WOA has advised its members of the problem. However this information may not have reached all owners of affected designs. It is therefore hoped that this notice will rectify the situation. <br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>The rudder had worn bearings and needed replacing as the rudder was in contact with the skeg behind it on one side.<br />
<br />
<br />
To lower the rudder on W33/Discus you do need to dig a hole. In my case hole was 30cmdeep with boat on blocks of 20cm<br />
<br />
[[File:Dig_a_hole.jpg|500px|center|Digging hole]]<br />
<br />
[[File:Hole 30cm deep.jpg|500px|center|The hole]]<br />
<br />
Support rudder with ropes, remove quadrant and tap out rudder support bolt. Wiggle rudder from side to side and gently lower into hole.<br />
<br />
[[File:rudder_to_lift1.jpg|500px|center|Support rudder with ropes]]<br />
<br />
I had to remove the rudder tube because I needed to rebed it to stop minor seepage<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Below this is what the rudder tube looks like. It is in two parts- the top section screws onto the tube. The lower flange is integral. <br />
<br />
Under the quadrant four bolts hold a square cover plate in place. Remove bolts, remove cover plate. Then unscrew the main square top plate fitting. Shaft seal sits in recess in top of main square top plate.<br />
<br />
[[File:Rudder tube.jpg|500px|center|Rudder Tube can be removed]]<br />
<br />
Outside there are five bolts to remove. The lower bearing must be prized out before the two bolts closest to the hull can be removed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Bearing_and_seals.jpg|500px|center|new lower bearing and shaft seal]]<br />
<br />
New bearings and shaft seal needed.<br />
<br />
From the left: Tool to unscrew square top plate, Old shaft seal (compression spring completely gone), new shaft seal, new lower bearing, old lower bearing (note two notches for bolt heads)<br />
<br />
[[File:Top bearing.jpg|500px|center|top bearing]]<br />
<br />
Top bearing in tube was hardly worn but I decided to replace it anyway<br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Top bearing extractor.jpg|500px|center|top bearing]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Top bearing can be removed easily by tapping it out the top of the tube using a plywood pad <br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Outside mating surface.jpg|500px|center|outside mating surface]]<br />
<br />
This is the surface that has to be sealed. There are 5 M8 bolts (replace these with A4 stainless steel bolts) and the main tube shaft to seal. Note bolt holes countersunk slightly to assist mastic seal.<br />
<br />
Bolts are M8 x 45mm Bolt Hex Head A4 available from Sea Screw<br />
<br />
Update used sikaflex 291 as Arawa tube leaked after 2 years.ll<br />
<br />
Finally realign bolts and rudder tube. Arawa used self amalgamating tape to seal holes. Here rudder is inside tube as it is fitted I plan to fit tube first.<br />
<br />
[[File:20190218_132600.jpg|500px|center|]]<br />
<br />
Rudder tube reinstalled - hope it is at the right level!<br />

Don't forget to antifoul behind rudder before replacing it.<br />

==The Westerly Companies==<br />
<br />
Around the start of 1963 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denys_Rayner Commander Denys Rayner], an established yacht designer (see [[Before Westerly]]), was approached by Hilary Scott, a man of some means, to design a GRP yacht to be built by a new company he wanted set up. Rayner designed the Westerly™ - a 22ft yacht similar in some respects to a wooden yacht he had designed earlier; the boat was subsequently renamed the Westerly 22™. After some discussion, Rayner became MD of the new company, whilst Scott and a solicitor called Michael Hurd became its non-executive directors. That company, founded in March 1963, was called "Westerly Marine Construction Ltd"™, the first of several companies to own the Westerly brand name, and usually referred to as just "Westerly" see<br />
[[A Brief Corporate History of Westerly]] Over the decades that Westerly in it's various incarnations dominated the UK leisure yachting industry they employed the best designers of the day including [http://www.johnbutlerassociates.co.uk/ John Butler], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Proctor#Yacht_designer Ian Proctor] , [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Laurent_Giles Jack Laurent Giles], Chris Hawkins, Mike Pocock, [http://www.duboisyachts.com/Design/About-Us/Team/Ed-Dubois/ Ed Dubois], and [http://www.ronhollanddesign.com/ Ron Holland]; and from beginning to end, Westerly established and maintained a reputation for their excellent GRP layup and strength of build.<br />

The good news is that there is at least one brochure for every model ever build.<br />
<br />
Sometimes a model (for example the Chieftan) had different brochures that on first view look similar. The only difference could be as small as another printing date. It is not always possible to find the date that the brochure was produced. In those cases "19xx" is been used.To make this Wiki as complete as possible these brochures have also been uploaded. <br />
If you have a brochure or an advertisement that is not on this Wiki please send it to us. We will make it available on the Wiki.<br />

==Guidance for Contributors==<br />
<br />
This is an open Wiki so anyone can contribute. Please open an account and log in using your real name. The basic syntax is simple so with a little reading through the Help under Navigation and/or the FAQ link below any one can enter material and edit text. For more complex layout editing some knowledge of a language such as HTML will help or you can email the Sysops and leave a request for support at westerlywiki@westerly-owners.co.uk. Contributors should endeavour to review the best available information on a topic and submit a digest of that information to the Wiki. Prime sources of information will include personal experience (preferred), magazines, the WOA Web site and discussion groups such as WOA and Yahoo. Material should not be lifted verbatim rather a digested version should be presented in the Wiki. There are generally several alternative approaches or opinions about any task and Wiki contributors should endeavour to identify these alternatives and provide hooks (follow on pages) to the alternatives. Even if the information is not available to the original contributor someone else can later add that information. Reprints of chatty Practical Boat Owner type articles are not recommended because this is not Wiki style. The "How I did it" article which is suitable for a magazine is generally just one view and the Wiki needs to recognise alternates.<br />
You should also add a Resources section where applicable providing links to suppliers web sites and a References section listing sources of material used in the compilation of the section.<br />

== Introduction == <br />
<br />
Welcome to the Westerly Wiki sponsored by the Westerly Owners Association. Our aim is to make the Westerly Wiki the prime source of technical information about Westerly Yachts.

The Wiki is an open (public) resource and anyone may contribute material or correct existing entries (see Guidance for Contributors below). However you do need to register your email address (using real names please) and log in to contribute - anonymous access is not supported.<br />

==The Westerly Companies==<br />
<br />
Around the start of 1963 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denys_Rayner Commander Denys Rayner], an established yacht designer (see [[Before Westerly]]), was approached by Hilary Scott, a man of some means, to design a GRP yacht to be built by a new company he wanted set up. Rayner designed the Westerly™ - a 22ft yacht similar in some respects to a wooden yacht he had designed earlier; the boat was subsequently renamed the Westerly 22™. After some discussion, Rayner became MD of the new company, whilst Scott and a solicitor called Michael Hurd became its non-executive directors. That company, founded in March 1963, was called "Westerly Marine Construction Ltd"™, the first of several companies to own the Westerly brand name, and usually referred to as just "Westerly" see<br />
[[A Brief Corporate History of Westerly]] Over the decades that Westerly in it's various incarnations dominated the UK leisure yachting industry they employed the best designers of the day including [http://www.johnbutlerassociates.co.uk/ John Butler], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Proctor#Yacht_designer Ian Proctor] , [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Laurent_Giles Jack Laurent Giles], Chris Hawkins, Mike Pocock, [http://www.duboisyachts.com/Design/About-Us/Team/Ed-Dubois/ Ed Dubois], and [http://www.ronhollanddesign.com/ Ron Holland]; and from beginning to end, Westerly established and maintained a reputation for their excellent GRP layup and strength of build.<br />

The "How I did it" article which is suitable for a magazine is generally just one view and the Wiki needs to recognise alternates.<br />
You should also add a Resources section where applicable providing links to suppliers web sites and a References section listing sources of material used in the compilation of the section.<br />

==The Westerly Companies==<br />
<br />
Around the start of 1963 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denys_Rayner Commander Denys Rayner], an established yacht designer (see [[Before Westerly]]), was approached by Hilary Scott, a man of some means, to design a GRP yacht to be built by a new company he wanted set up. Rayner designed the Westerly™ - a 22ft yacht similar in some respects to a wooden yacht he had designed earlier; the boat was subsequently renamed the Westerly 22™. After some discussion, Rayner became MD of the new company, whilst Scott and a solicitor called Michael Hurd became its non-executive directors. That company, founded in March 1963, was called "Westerly Marine Construction Ltd"™, the first of several companies to own the Westerly brand name, and usually referred to as just "Westerly" see<br />
[[A Brief Corporate History of Westerly]] Over the decades that Westerly in it's various incarnations dominated the UK leisure yachting industry they employed the best designers of the day including [http://www.johnbutlerassociates.co.uk/ John Butler], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Proctor#Yacht_designer Ian Proctor] , [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Laurent_Giles Jack Laurent Giles], Chris Hawkins, Mike Pocock, [http://www.duboisyachts.com/Design/About-Us/Team/Ed-Dubois/ Ed Dubois], and [http://www.ronhollanddesign.com/ Ron Holland]; and from beginning to end, Westerly established and maintained a reputation for their excellent GRP layup and strength of build.<br />

Westerly produced many brochures during the time they were in business. On this Wiki you will find most of the brochures Westerly have ever made but, very likely, not all. <br />
The good news is that there is at least one brochure for every model ever build.<br />
<br />
Sometimes a model (for example the Chieftan) had different brochures that on first view look similar. The only difference could be as small as another printing date. It is not always possible to find the date that the brochure was produced. In those cases "19xx" is been used.To make this Wiki as complete as possible these brochures have also been uploaded. <br />
If you have a brochure or an advertisement that is not on this Wiki please send it to us. We will make it available on the Wiki.<br />

==Guidance for Contributors==<br />
<br />
This is an open Wiki so anyone can contribute. Please open an account and log in using your real name. The basic syntax is simple so with a little reading through the Help under Navigation and/or the FAQ link below any one can enter material and edit text. For more complex layout editing some knowledge of a language such as HTML will help or you can email the Sysops and leave a request for support at westerlywiki@westerly-owners.co.uk. Contributors should endeavour to review the best available information on a topic and submit a digest of that information to the Wiki. Prime sources of information will include personal experience (preferred), magazines, the WOA Web site and discussion groups such as WOA and Yahoo. Material should not be lifted verbatim rather a digested version should be presented in the Wiki. There are generally several alternative approaches or opinions about any task and Wiki contributors should endeavour to identify these alternatives and provide hooks (follow on pages) to the alternatives. Even if the information is not available to the original contributor someone else can later add that information. Reprints of chatty Practical Boat Owner type articles are not recommended because this is not Wiki style. The "How I did it" article which is suitable for a magazine is generally just one view and the Wiki needs to recognise alternates.<br />
You should also add a Resources section where applicable providing links to suppliers web sites and a References section listing sources of material used in the compilation of the section.<br />

Westerly produced many brochures during the time they were in business. On this Wiki you will find most of the brochures Westerly have ever made but, very likely, not all. <br />
The good news is that there is at least one brochure for every model ever build.<br />
<br />
Sometimes a model (for example the Chieftan) had different brochures that on first view look similar. The only difference could be as small as another printing date. It is not always possible to find the date that the brochure was produced. In those cases "19xx" is been used.To make this Wiki as complete as possible these brochures have also been uploaded. <br />
If you have a brochure or an advertisement that is not on this Wiki please send it to us. We will make it available on the Wiki.<br />

==Guidance for Contributors==<br />
<br />
This is an open Wiki so anyone can contribute. Please open an account and log in using your real name. The basic syntax is simple so with a little reading through the Help under Navigation and/or the FAQ link below any one can enter material and edit text. For more complex layout editing some knowledge of a language such as HTML will help or you can email the Sysops and leave a request for support at westerlywiki@westerly-owners.co.uk. Contributors should endeavour to review the best available information on a topic and submit a digest of that information to the Wiki. Prime sources of information will include personal experience (preferred), magazines, the WOA Web site and discussion groups such as WOA and Yahoo. Material should not be lifted verbatim rather a digested version should be presented in the Wiki. There are generally several alternative approaches or opinions about any task and Wiki contributors should endeavour to identify these alternatives and provide hooks (follow on pages) to the alternatives. Even if the information is not available to the original contributor someone else can later add that information. Reprints of chatty Practical Boat Owner type articles are not recommended because this is not Wiki style. The "How I did it" article which is suitable for a magazine is generally just one view and the Wiki needs to recognise alternates.<br />
You should also add a Resources section where applicable providing links to suppliers web sites and a References section listing sources of material used in the compilation of the section.<br />
<br />
You can practise here in the [[Sandbox]]<br />
