Owner’s Comments and Boat History
The vessel lost her mast during Hurricane Irma. The mast and rigging were subsequently replaced by FKG Rigging Specialists.
The hull was professionally sprayed in silver metallic Awlgrip with a clear coat approximately four years ago and is reported to remain in excellent condition.
The Centurion 45S combines sporty sailing performance with a comfortable cruising interior. The “S” designation represents the model’s sport-oriented configuration, complemented by a tall mast, large single steering wheel and Harken Black Magic deck equipment.
Below deck, the three-cabin, two-head layout provides generous accommodation, practical living spaces and high-quality wood finishes. Wauquiez’s hull and deck construction has earned the yard a strong reputation for producing robust, premium-quality cruising yachts.
