Wauquiez Centurion 57
About this yacht
The Wauquiez Centurion 57 represents the celebrated French shipyard's triumphant return to the grand sailing yacht segment, reviving a legendary lineage with a vessel that seamlessly bridges performance and luxury. Built since 2013, this 17.70-meter bluewater cruiser carries CE (A) certification for offshore passages, combining racing yacht handling with the comfort and refinement expected of a premium cruising sailboat. Her powerful, versatile hull delivers exceptional performance across all points of sail. Engineered to withstand the harshest conditions at sea, the Centurion 57 responds eagerly to the lightest breeze when sailing downwind, yet accelerates to impressive speeds as the wind builds—all while maintaining remarkable comfort for a bluewater sailboat. The 2.50-meter bulb keel ensures both rigidity and performance, making her among the most capable performance cruisers in her class. On deck, the expansive cockpit balances efficient crew work with comprehensive singlehanded sailing capability. Electric winches come standard, lines lead aft to twin helm stations beneath the side decks, and an optional self-tacking system simplifies handling. Twin wheels flank ultra-modern B&G consoles, placing full navigation electronics at the helmsman's fingertips. An opening transom platform provides direct access to the tender garage. Premium deck hardware—including a Sparcraft racing mast, Harken winches and blocks, pre-stretched Dyneema lines, and a retractable carbon bowsprit—integrates seamlessly into clean, purposeful lines. The standard Yanmar 110hp shaft-drive engine from the latest marine generation operates with exceptional quietness and minimal vibration, while a Volvo D3-150hp remains available as an option. Below deck, the Wauquiez Centurion 57 reveals a sophisticated interior where oiled teak—a shipyard signature since 1965—blends with leather, glass, and stainless steel through meticulous craftsmanship. The saloon floods with natural light from oversized deck hatches and two panoramic hull portholes offering seaward views, creating an elegant, welcoming space whether at anchor or crossing oceans. The forward owner's suite features a dedicated office, extensive storage, and a private head with separate shower. Twin aft double cabins each offer independent heads, providing guests with the comfort expected aboard a luxury sailing yacht. The galley extends along both port and starboard at the companionway, richly equipped for extended cruising and circumnavigation with full onboard appliances. The forward sail locker accommodates the complete wardrobe and technical equipment, with the option to convert it into a skipper's cabin with sink and head. This racer-cruiser embodies Wauquiez's complete expertise in luxury sailboat design and construction—a sailing yacht equally at home on spirited coastal passages or worldwide voyages.
