1992 Wauquiez Centurion for Sale – 45 ft – Seattle, Washington, United States

45' WAUQUIEZ CENTURION FOR SALE !! Designed by naval architect Ed Dubois and build by Henri Wauquiez (FRA) from 1990 to 1993, this 1992 Centurion 45 was bought by the second owner out of a brief company charter - thus the rare brown strip.

A popular model among cruisers looking for performance, the Centurion designs; 42, 45, 47 and 49 models were all fast racer-cruisers.  They were built in the Wauquiez (Chantier) or boatyard in NE France, Neuville en Ferrain, near the Belgium border.  These strong and safe, seaworthy ocean boats are  sloop-rigged, with a fin keel designs long before Beneteau bought Wauquiez.  Ed Dubois extended his 42 hull to make the Centurion 45, keeping the successful 3-cabin, 2-head design, while adding a "Mediterranean stern entrance" for a bit more waterline and speed.

Cruised by an experienced sailor, this fine boat has "Hasse" Port Townsend sails, including a beautiful gold asymmetric spinnaker, with a double-spreader aluminum mast w/ rod rigging.  The diesel is a clean Beta 50 with wonderful access, Balmar alternator, powering a 20" 3-blade MaxProp.  With Mexico experience, of course there's shade protection and air conditioning.  Check out the very livable galley, gracious salon with impressive storage and all three cabins: V-berth, crew cabin, and aft cabin w/ head. Known for their seaworthiness and strong construction, Wauquiez’s sailboats consistently deliver swift-sailing, maneuverable designs, and hold their value.  Don't miss this one!  If you are seriously looking for a great offshore sailboat, La Volante Frances Jane might be your ticket. . .
