The Centurion 32, introduced in 1968, remains the seminal vessel that defined the Wauquiez shipyard's transition from a smallscale workshop to a premier international manufacturer of offshore cruisers. Designed by the esteemed British firm Holman & Pye, the yacht was a commercial triumph, with approximately 380 units produced between 1968 and 1977. It was built during a transitional era of yacht design, sitting at the intersection of the traditional Long Keel/CCA (Cruising Club of America) aesthetics and the emerging IOR (International Offshore Rule) performance metrics. The result is a boat characterized by a relatively narrow beam, elegant overhangs, and a robust build quality that has allowed many examples to complete circumnavigations and remain in active service over half a century later.
