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. 'Impulse' is a good example of one of the last Centaurs built, with a modern engine and 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! Only being sold as her owner is retiring from sailing, a recent survey is available on request. Viewing by appointment through our Essex office 01621 785600
