Details
"Down Under" has to be inspected to appreciate the quality, the Wauquiez Centurion 45S is a "True Performance Cruiser", unlike mass-production cruisers, the Centurion 45s is a Berret-Racoupeau design built for speed and comfort. It easily clocks 8+ knots upwind and handles heavy weather with ease. The interior features solid Burmese teak, pristine joinery, and Alcantara finishes that hold up much better than modern veneered yachts. Really set up for short-handed sailing with the lines all leed aft to the cockpit, making it easy for a couple or a solo sailor to manage.
