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, performance-oriented 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 high-end 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.
