Westerly Centaur

Article Abstract:

The boats, which were built from 1969 to 1979, still provide cruisers with a seakindly motion resulting from form stability and secondary right moment. Some W-26s may be about 30 years old already but a small investment on repairs will put another 10 years of sailing into them.
