The Wauquiez Amphitrite 43 remains a cornerstone of the French shipyard’s legacy, representing the transition of Wauquiez from a builder of highperformance racers to a premier manufacturer of luxury bluewater cruisers. Launched in 1974 and produced until 1982, this heavydisplacement ketch was designed by the esteemed firm of Holman & Pye. With approximately 138 units built, the Amphitrite 43 was engineered for longdistance passagemaking, characterized by a centercockpit layout and a robust hull that prioritizes stability and comfort over raw speed. According to the Wauquiez Official History, the model was instrumental in establishing the brand's reputation for seaworthiness during an era when the fiberglass cruising market was maturing.
