That’s a westerly centaur! Great sturdy boats, best selling boat in the UK. Only has a wooden strengthening rib in the stem head and under the mast, so not cored. Could be rescued if someone has the time!
@@delegendbsceneproductions8578 There are some in the US, but they built over 2300 of them and are still popular over here, although a quite a few look like this one which is a shame.
I own and sail one. Great boats. Lloyds standards hull. It surely can be rescued. If inboard doesnt run its easy to install bracket on stern and outboard motor. We have one as back up. 6hp longshaft. If sails are available even better..rest of interior is fiberglass mouldings. And some wood accents. Easy to fit out and repair
@@delegendbsceneproductions8578 I've done two rehab projects, the last one took 5 years to get back on the water, and that's where I'm writing from. This boat doesn't warrant that level of effort or expense.
There's nothing more expensive than a free boat.
@@sailingsibongile Agreed!
Is the hull pure fiberglass or cored with plywood or foam? If the latter is the case it can be rotten.

@@garry5608 I suppose it would be a challenge to find a trailer to haul it as well.

@@magdakaniewski the inboard has supposedly been either rebuilt or replaced. The prop and shaft looked unused with no wear
Looks like four years of solid work before it is ready to get back into the water.
@@GlenJS it could be worse!
looks like a chainsaw project.

@@williewonka6694 free is free regardless of the effort
Free boats (any kind) are the most expensive ones you can own.
@@MarMo-n9z how many "free boats" have you found and restored?
Catalina? Maybe 27 feet?
@@jimnakamura3618 I couldnt find a makers plate
Nothing free here. The hull is probably full of soft spots
@@TheSnero3 Idk. I just happened to ride by and see it. I do know it was in the water at a nearby dock less than 3 years ago.
@@TheSnero3 Im sure it could at least be parted out.
No coring. These are solid glass. I have one from1972 and hull is great
Nothing to see here other than remorse
