11 / 31 - score 54%
The Chieftain 26 westerly is a 26.0ft masthead sloop designed by Laurent Giles and partners ltd and built in fiberglass by Westerly Marine Construction Ltd. between 1972 and 1976.
79 units have been built.
The Chieftain 26 westerly is a heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
