The Wauquiez Centurion 45 represents a pivotal era for the French shipyard, bridging the gap between the ultrarobust, traditional cruisers of the 1970s and the highperformance, sleek luxury yachts of the modern era. Designed by the late Ed Dubois, the Centurion 45 was introduced in the early 1990s as a sophisticated performance cruiser that refused to compromise on interior volume or build quality. It arrived as a successor to the legendary Holman & Pye designs, such as the Centurion 47, but offered a more contemporary hull shape with a wider beam carried further aft and a more efficient underwater profile. This model is often categorized by its "sprint" capability—a boat that can comfortably cross an ocean at high average speeds while providing a level of joinery and finish that remains a benchmark for production yachts.
