Broker's Comments

Built by Westerly Marine Ltd to a Laurent Giles design, the Centaur was Westerly's most successful model.
This is a fine example of the Westerly Centaur, and the owner keeps pace with maintaining the boat.

Benefiting from a 25hp Volvo engine (understood to have been refurbished around 2000),and standing rigging dating to 2015. Also featuring a new sprayhood fitted in 2021.

A well proven design, the Centaur is ideally suited to short-handed coastal cruising or an excellent starter boat for a young family.

Currently in commission and afloat and we recommend early viewing.

These boat details are subject to contract.
