Westerly Targa 32

[gerardversluis]

For the Dutch Westerly Owners Association I want to write an article about the Westerly Targa 32. As far as I know this is the only motorboat that Westerly has ever build. Has anybody some information about this boat? when were they build, how many were build, were the good/bad, what did they cost etc.
All information is welcome.

They built 47 footer fly bridge ( around this size ) at Waterlooville, if I remember under the White Water name, also talk of 42 footer. Remember going on prototype to measure up for the switchgear, think they may have gone bust ( early 90's ) before full production as I have no further memories of it.

They did build a 43 footer called a Jaguar 43, I think, but only one, I believe. The 47 footer is called the Whitewater Wolfe 46 and there are quite a few about. Both not bad looking boats but the early '90's recession did for them

The Westerly Targa 32 , I believe, was an Azimut 32 built under licence in the early to mid 1980's. Have a look on the azimut website or try looking for secondhand ones to get a spec.
As far as I remember they had twin shaftdrive volvos TMD40s?


The Whitewater Wolfe 46 was an american design and quite good from what I hear.
