LOA: 26’ / LWL: 21’4” / BEAM: 8’5” / DRAFT: 3’ / Disp: 6700 lbs Twin keel, Masthead sloop, Built by Westerly Marine Ltd. The Westerly Centaur was designed in 1968 by Jack Laurent Giles as a more modern and roomier replacement for the existing Westerly 25. She was probably the first mass-production yacht to have had the design tank-tested before a prototype was built, and this, plus Laurent Giles's earlier experience with bilge keel designs, was probably the reason for the Centaur's good performance under sail. Looking at a roomy boat with good he... read more

Remarks : The Centaur was one of the most popular boats that Westerly ever built. They built in the region of 2,400 between 1969 and 1980 which is testament to the brand. Penned by famous designers Laurent Giles the Centaur appealed to both the family cruiser and the lone yachtsman. The design had it all with a cockpit space more in keeping with a 30 footer, a choice of interior layouts to suit individual needs and a keel configuration that allowed drying harbours and estuaries to be explored. She sailed not too badly either and handled herself admirably in a blow. This particular exa... read more

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. When I visited the boat, I saw a vessel with a good looking, relatively recent, engine and an appeal to anybody looking for a safe, easy to handle boat to enjoy a variety of sailing. A new owner may consider some instrument upgrades and some cleaning and refurbishing around the boat. If you would... read more
