Broker's Comments

With 2444 Westerly Centaurs sold, this was, at one time, the world's largest selling mass produced boat. With many having gone transatlantic and some even circumnavigating. She is able to take the ground on her bilge keels.
The current owner had not intended to sell her for a while and therefore has been constantly updating and renewing all her gear and equipment.
