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.

With some tlc, this will make an appealing yacht to anybody looking for an easy to handle boat to enjoy a variety of sailing. If you would like more information please contact our office and we would also be pleased to organise a personal viewing.
