Broker's Comments

The Westerly Centaur is as popular today as when she was produced, nearly 2,500 of them. The same qualities are relevant, they are sturdy, capable seaboats which handle easily yet will look after you and yours in the most adverse weather conditions. With her bilge keels she can use drying harbours and moorings and explore sandy beaches and creeks.
This example is one of the best available on the market today. She has had a lot of money spent on her keeping her in tip top condition. New stack pack and sacrificial strip fitted, new spray hood fitted, new batteries installed and upholstery and carpets renewed.
The accommodation has a forward cabin with 2 single berths which can be converted into a double. The heads are to port with a hanging locker opposite. The main saloon has ample seating around the cabin table which can be converted into a double berth. There are a further 2 quarter berths aft and the galley is to starboard.
If you are in the market for probably the best Westerly Centaur currently available please make arrangements to view.
