Westerly Centaur C41 Astraeus June Update
Westerly Centaur CR 41 Astraeus. Update on the rebirth of our yacht. The cockpit area is now complete with the staining and varnishing of wooden cockpit seat trim. Two winch handle pockets have also been mounted. Also shown is the now complete forward cabin. All roof panels have been insulated and fitted with wooden trim and mounted on removable panels. This is also the case in the main cabin.The new forward hatch is shown allowing excellent light into what was a dark cabin. The heads are shown with the new Eberspacher electric handwash basin. The galley is now complete with wood trim which hides the cooker when not in use. A storage point in wood has been fitted for both the hand held VHF and the binoculars both within easy reach of the cockpit. All lines including single line reefing are lead back to the cockpit. At the rea of the yacht a mirror can be seen which gives a perfect view of the engine exhaust water flow from inside the cabin. No more rushing out to check water flow! Also at the rear is the stainless steel mounting pole for the GPS aerial and the freeview TV aerial which gives a perfect picture! On some of the photos you can see some of the safety equipment that has been fitted including jackstays (yellow) and man overboard equipment at stern. It is also clear that the often mentioned ‘caravan’ look is gone. No white GRP can be seen inside. It now all has wood, headlining or blue trim fitted most of which has been insulated as well.

Very nice. I’m doing up a Westerly Nomad whilst living aboard a Westerly Cirrus up in Northumberland during the holidays. Both boats need roller reefing and all lines to be lead aft. I hate going on deck to put the sails up. Also all wiring is to be renewed – using Philippi. So, don’t you have lots of advice for me? I too like steady. Infact once I’ve finished with work I’m off to sunnier parts or even around the world.
