The Wauquiez Centurion 49 stands as a definitive benchmark in the evolution of French performance cruising. Launched in the late 1980s as a successor to the highly successful Holman & Pye designs, the 49 marked a significant pivot for the yard toward the design office of Ed Dubois. This model represents a transition era where the "go-anywhere" robustness of the earlier Centurions was married to a more contemporary, sleek aesthetic and a faster hull form. The Centurion 49 was designed to compete with the likes of Swan and Baltic, offering a level of offshore capability and interior luxury that established it as a flagship for Wauquiez during one of its most prestigious eras.
