The Wauquiez Centurion 47, introduced in 1984, represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of the French shipyard, marking the transition from the traditional designs of Holman & Pye to the more contemporary, performanceoriented lines of Ed Dubois. Often referred to by enthusiasts as the "French Swan" due to its exceptional build quality and sleek aesthetic, the Centurion 47 was conceived as a highend offshore cruiser capable of competitive racing under the IOR (International Offshore Rule) of its era. During its production run through the late 1980s, the model established Wauquiez as a premiere builder of "Grand Tourisme" yachts, blending the luxury of a Mediterranean cruiser with the structural integrity required for circumnavigation.
