Centurion 45S
Description
The Wauquiez Centurion 45S (also referred to as Centurion 45S or simply Centurion 45 in some contexts) is a modern performance cruiser from the French shipyard Chantiers Henri Wauquiez. Unlike the classic Ed Dubois-designed Centurions (e.g., 32 through 59 from the 1980s–1990s), this model was designed by Berret-Racoupeau Yacht Design and produced roughly from the late 1990s to mid-2000s (examples commonly 2000–2005). It represents a later evolution in the Centurion line: a fast, seaworthy bluewater cruiser-racer with contemporary styling, excellent build quality, and a focus on comfortable offshore sailing — often used for both extended cruising and occasional racing.
