Introduction
Designed by Ian Proctor, the Nimrod was the new model for 1968, introduced specifically to offer dinghy sailors a natural progression to weekend trailer-sailer cruising. It offered 2 reasonable births and by using a cockpit tent provided 2 deck berths for children. However despite being a very fast boat, already the Westerly reputation had reached such a level that the basic accomodation fell short of what was expected and so disappointingly only 186 were made.
