The Wauquiez Centurion 49 stands as a pinnacle of late-20th-century French yacht design, emerging from the Henri Wauquiez yard at a time when the builder was transitioning from traditional heavy-displacement cruisers to more refined, performance-oriented thoroughbreds. Designed by the renowned Ed Dubois, the Centurion 49 was introduced in the late 1980s as an evolution of the Centurion 47, utilizing a lengthened hull to improve the yacht's speed-to-length ratio and aesthetics. Known for its distinctively low profile and flush-deck appearance, the 49 was built to bridge the gap between a competitive offshore racer and a luxurious blue-water cruiser. While the yard is now recognized for its modern "Pilot Saloon" range, the Centurion 49 remains a benchmark for sailors who prioritize a "sleek and fast" silhouette coupled with the legendary build quality of the Wauquiez brand.
