W21

Introduction

Really a renamed Warwick it was launched in 1977. Also available to home DIY builders in 3 stages of completion. This was in the era of the "Winter of Discontent" and it was thought this might be a way of increasing sales in a very difficult and depressed market. The 21 had different windows and a slightly modified and wooden interior. Somewhat surprisingly the last two 21s made were sold as Warwicks. As with the Warwicks, they had for their size a long water line length and a tall rig which meant they performed a lot better than boats of a similar length.
