Broker's Comments

Westerly Centaur's are one of the most well known and loved models from the reliable and sturdy Westerly range of sailing yachts. Designed for maximum comfort in the cockpit and interior, the bilge keel is also perfect for sailing shallower waters, whilst also capable of venturing further afield.

This version has been in the same careful owner's hands for over three decades and has happily sailed locally and further afield within the English Channel Southern North Sea. The boat is in commission and ready to sail. When I visited the boat, I saw a vessel with a good looking, relatively recent, engine and an appeal to anybody looking for a safe, easy to handle boat to enjoy a variety of sailing. A new owner may consider some instrument upgrades or equally that what is already present is sufficient for coastal and Estuary trips.
