Wauquiez Centurion 45s
This yatch is the perfect compromise between ocean going competence and bay-crusing comfort, perfectly suited for anything from family getaways to ocean passages. The Centurion 45 was a definitive step into modern design for Wauquiez. The boat was built strong, with all the build qualities, characteristic of the Wauquiez brand, and a great performance Hull from Jean Berret. This union resulted in a truly beautiful boat to sail perfect manners, and a great balance of up and downwind performance. Like many of her sisterships, 'Down Under' has cruised extensively. The three-cabin layout is generous and ideal for family sailing. Her protected cockpit is safe, shaded and dry. Strongly recommend this yacht. She is very well cared for vessel. Rigging/sails/engineering and aesthetics are all up to date.
