Broker's Comments
For Sale: Westerly Centaur – A Proven Classic with Modern Upgrades.
The Westerly Centaur is renowned for its exceptional seaworthiness, reliability, and versatility - making it one of the most trusted vessels for coastal cruising and longer passages. With a strong following across the UK and internationally, it’s a fantastic choice for first-time buyers or families looking for a dependable cruiser.
While the boat’s ownership history is undocumented, and it was previously arrested by Torbay Council’s Harbour Authority due to unpaid harbour dues, it now presents a unique opportunity for a new owner to restore and enjoy a true sailing classic.
Key Highlights:
Upgraded Engine: Appears to be fairly recently re-engined with a Volvo D1-20, a valuable and costly upgrade that enhances performance and reliability. The engine appears to be in excellent condition, as shown in the photos.
Sailing Features:
Equipped with in-mast mainsail reefing and roller furling headsail - ideal for easy handling, especially when sailing solo or with a small crew.
Condition:
The boat would benefit from a thorough clean and some cosmetic attention, but overall, and in my opinion, she appears to be in fair to good condition.
This is a great opportunity to acquire a well-loved design with modern enhancements at an attractive price point.
Early viewing is highly recommended.
