This is an auction for my Westerly Centaur A Layout 6 berth bilge keel 26ft yacht , PETREL OF UPNOR1971 buildListing as a project but can be used as is. See listing for details.She has been in regular use until this season, and well cruised around the solent and beyond in my ownership.

This has been like it since I have owned her but is still strong. I have been meaning to move the mount forward of the hatch as per most of the newer Centaurs, and have the proper bracket somewhere for this but have not got round to it.There is a small amount of compression to the mast base which may need attention at some pointThe deck needs a good sand and paintWould benefit from new or used sailsThe headlining in the forward cabin is a bit droopy as per most old westerlies and could do with being redone.She needs a good clean up as I haven’t been able to use her much at all this seasonLast out of the water for maintenance and antifouling in June 2023. This boat still has plenty to give, and is definitely worth the effort required. Unfortunately I’m not in a position to be able to do it any more.Please feel free to contact me with any questions. She is afloat in Fareham, and you are encouraged to come and have a look before bidding. She can stay where she is for a maximum of 2 weeks after auction end.
