Jouster
Contents
Introduction
Designed by Laurent Giles in 1970 the Jouster and the Warwick were two 21 footers built for the offshore racing fraternity and the cruising fraternity respectively. The Jouster was a successful design with many wins in its class. Although being a pure racer, it had a somewhat bare cabin layout, it did also double as a weekend sailer. It was also a lot cheaper than the Warwick.
By later years the interior had become significantly more luxurious, with full headlining. The rig was also reduced slightly in size to make the Jouster a little less hairy for the cruising sailor: the later mainsail was about 12" shorter in the foot and the luff than the original racing version.
