About Nomad

Westerly Marine built about 250 Renown's between 1972 and 1979, the Renown being one of four models sharing the same 31 foot hull moulding.

The design was by Laurent Giles, the hull showing it's obvious family similarity to the Centaur.

As with the smaller Centaur, sailing performance is actually rather better than you would expect from looking at the hulls.
All were solidly built, with the hulls moulded to Lloyds standards, and every hull having a Lloyds certificate. When introduced they were regarded as medium displacement - though compared to most current yachts they are fairly heavy. Add to this a powerful diesel and you have a sensibly priced family cruiser offering very useful and flexible accommodation. "Yachting Monthly" has described them as ".... safe, steady, all-weather cruisers".

I have attempted to make Nomad as suitable for the journey as I could make possible, here is the list :

Nomad has not had the all the pretty stuff done, she will be looking forward to a good clean and polish the other side of the pond.
