Broker's Comments

It was no mistake that the Westerly Centaur was the most successful boat of the seventies, there were nearly 2500 built and designed by Laurent Giles. She still stands the test of time as a sturdy cruiser for the family.
This example has a clean and tidy interior with the dinette arrangement, which converts to a double berth, to port and the galley is to starboard. There is a forward cabin with 2 berths and 2 single large berths under the cockpit seating. The engine starts on the button.
She's in need of a bit of a tidy up externally and requires a new sprayhood cover but is ready to go cruising. These boat details are subject to contract.
