As far as I am aware Westerly imported 2 boats Juggernaut (now Judicious) and JetLag. I dont think that they manufactured any.
If memory serves me JetLag went to Switzerland.
I know about the J30 in Ipswich. I had a report that someone saw one in cruising format c/w bicycle transitting the French canal system last year, and that, to my knowledge is it for Europe!
We are very happy with Judicious and intend to keep her - we wouldnt mind a newer one with the coamings and oven, but to import from the USA would seem to be too expensive.
Judicious has a Perkins M29 deisel engine (29hp) and Genesis sails. We do pretty well under the IRC handicap system.
We would love to have a go at sailing against other J30's and keep talking about chartering a good boat for the N/A's (anyone want to do a boat swap next summer).
