Broker's Comments

The venerable Westerly Centaur requires no introduction from us, however this one's a ketch with a B Layout below decks. I don't know exactly how many of this rig there are but here we have one!
She's in average condition for her age, although her engine is low hours, and could be described as above average. A two season old main sail also makes her rather desirable in our view. A roomy shoal draft cruiser with a rig that will invite admiration from dockside browsers - what's not to like!
