CENTAUR 26 (WESTERLY)

Westerly Centaur
The first centaur , Harmony the one I bought for £1, was built in 1979 - the year after Westerly revamped the design of the keels and added a skeg. She also had a lovely mainsail - a real driving force . Harmony felt good on the tiller - upwind you could steer her by feel alone. The £1 was really a sort of loan agreement.

Westerly Centaur yacht / sail boat. Information and advice on sailing
The Westerly Centaur is very spacious with plenty of headroom and was built with a choice of three different interior layouts. The headroom and powerful diesel engine often make people mistake Centaurs as motor-sailers, but they actually sail very well, although as bilge-keelers they are always going to be slower to windward than similar sized fin-keelers.

New owner of Westerly Centaur needs tips & advices
A Centaur will look after you well as you learn, and it is an excellent starter boat. It is well worthwhile joining the Westerly Owners Association; I save more than the cost of membership on discounts for insurance and berthing alone each year and it is a fantastic resource about your boat. It has an excellent online forum.
The principal dimensions of the Centaur are 26' LOA, beam 8'5" and draft 3'. Although this design is over 30 years old, few, if any 26' boats past or present, match the Centaur's roominess.
