Copy and paste the link below for Centaur specs. Http://www.yachtsnet.co.uk/archives/westerly-centaur/westerly-centaur.htm Her interior is the 'A' layout, she has 6 berths, a sea toilet in a separate heads compartment with a sink above, a two burner gimballed stove, a galley sink and a cool box. She has two berths astern either side of the engine bay, two more berths in the bow in a v and the table folds down to create two more berths as a double.

She has a large amount of storage, plenty for all your gear, food and cooking equipment. She has good set of sails, she has a furling genoa, all her standing rigging was replaced a few years ago, she had new spray dodgers, a new sail cover and a new spray hood last year. Over the winter whilst she was out of the water she had her hull polished and two coats of quality anti foul applied. She has the original 25hp Volvo Penta MD11C engine that runs well and has always been serviced, all parts are still available. She is a bilge keel, her keels have been reinforced(a problem on a centaur) so no problems there they are good and clean.

The original fuel tank (another problem on a centaur) has been replaced with a stainless one. She had a new muffler last year. She is a good solid honest boat, any inspection is welcome, I have a lot of photos taken when she was out showing how good her hull is. Centaurs have very thick strong hulls. She has an electronic chart plotter and a Humminbird helix 5 sonar both mounted on an adjustable arm so they can be used both below deck and whilst on the helm both of these are nearly new.

She is fitted with a tiller tamer, she also has an auto helm, a vhf radio, a fitted stereo and emergency GPS positioning. We are selling due to the purchase of a new boat, unfortunately I cannot have two. Zarki is currently on a deep water mooring at Cargreen, viewing is welcome but you will need to bring your wellies.
