Wauquiez Centurion 47
WAUQUIEZ CENTURION 47 (1990) – 3 cabins – Ed Dubois – Agadir, Morocco
A classic ocean cruiser, completely prepared this summer and ready to sail.
Produced in only 48 units between 1984 and 1990, the Centurion 47 is one of the finest achievements of the Wauquiez shipyard. Designed by Ed Dubois, it combines genuine performance potential with high-quality construction and timeless aesthetics. It also became a cinema legend, alongside Jean-Paul Belmondo in Claude Lelouch's "Itinéraire d'un enfant gâté."
On board, three independent cabins, two heads, and beautiful timber volumes offer remarkable comfort for ocean cruising with family or friends. It is a powerful and seaworthy vessel that requires a crew who loves sailing.
