The Wauquiez Centurion 45 represents a pivotal era for the French shipyard, bridging the gap between the ultra-robust, traditional cruisers of the 1970s and the high-performance, 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.
