Well, here she is. She's a lot of boat in 23'...currently named Freedom, but that will change. A friend in the marina has a Triton & I find myself walking down to look at her and she is a beauty, but the 2'10" draft on the Westerly is sooo practical on the Chesapeake Bay...

I'd say she looks "stout" (as in practical, compact and strong). I like the chainplate mounting, for instance, for the babystay/inner forestay.
I didn't realize this is a Laurent Giles design, or how nice the interior arrangements are, until I googled around. Now I can see why you didn't hesitate when the opportunity arose!
