The Wauquiez Pilot Saloon 40 represents a pivotal moment in the French shipyard’s history, merging the traditional bluewater robustness of the Centurion line with the elevated visibility and light of a true deck saloon. Launched in 2001 and designed by the prolific naval architecture firm Berret-Racoupeau, the PS 40 was engineered to provide a "penthouse" view from the navigation station and settee while maintaining a hull capable of transoceanic passage-making. It successfully balanced the high-volume requirements of a liveaboard cruiser with a hull shape that remains surprisingly agile, effectively replacing the earlier, more traditional pilot house concepts with a sleek, modern aesthetic that defined Wauquiez for a generation.
