The Westerly Centaur was the most popular British yacht ever built and it's easy to see why. The combination of performance, economy and space is legendary, whether crewed or for solo sailing. The current owner is reluctantly selling but has decided after 23 years that it's time for a change. She has been used a lot for the last 5 or 6 years. Prior to that she was ashore for about 10 years while the current owner was working away. He has personally and regularly maintained the vessel and engine throughout his ownership. She will probably need a lift out and antifoul for the start o... read more

The Westerly Centaur is a firm favourite for cruising thanks to its moderate draft and ability to take the ground, good accommodation, and easily managed nature. 'Keiko II' is a good example of one, with an engine that's always proved reliable under current ownership. Unusually well-presented below decks she represents excellent value and although in need of some upgrading it will make an excellent basis for someone looking to go cruising on a modest budget.

A credit to her current owner, this 1977 Westerly Centaur gains plenty of points where these older yachts so often fail. For example, the windows are clear, unblemished, and appear well sealed. The non-skid and surrounding deck paint are newly applied, the cockpit comes with comfy cushions, and there is an extra-long stainless steel swim ladder fitted for easy access and entry while swimming. A new (2023) anchor with stainless steel chain, a Lofrans windlass (2021), and a 2012 low-hours, regularly serviced Beta engine all contribute to the presentation of this much-loved cruiser.
