Broker's Comments

This Centaur is the A- Layout with a saloon dinette that converts to a double berth; there are two quarter berths and a forward cabin with a double v-berth.
This one has a nice looking hull that is still the original gelcoat, there are a minor few scratches and repairs but it’s better than most; the decks and cockpit also look pretty good. Coming to the interior the headlings are not great they are held up and functional but like many Westerly’s of this age they do sag in places; otherwise she is fine.
The owners added a new boom in 2008 and converted the boat to slab reefing with all lines led aft to the cockpit.
A good value boat keenly priced to sell!
