Did you know?

The Centurion 47 was used in Claude Lelouch's film, "Itinéraire d'un enfant gâté," with Jean Paul Belmondo. During filming, the boat was skippered by Michel Malinosky, Henri Wauquiez, and Véronique Wauquiez. The shots with the boat took place in the Bay of St. Tropez. The interior shots of the boat were taken dockside. To give the impression of being at sea in rough weather, Michel Malinosky, Henri Wauquiez, and Véronique Wauquiez moved the boat from side to side. Jean Paul Belmondo, on the other hand, just had to hold on inside!

The Centurion 47 is an exceptional boat! Designed by Ed Dubois renowned for his ultra-fast hulls.

This pure sailing vessel of the highest class is a development of the famous Victory, one of the best admiralties ever produced. The hull, deck plan, and rigging are designed for performance.

The aesthetics of this centurion are an undeniable success. The deck plan design is remarkable for its clarity and simplicity; the coachroof blends into the deck, creating very wide side decks, yet the crew remains perfectly protected in a deep cockpit.

Comfortably seated behind the large steering wheel, with 14.30 meters of deck in front of you, you tack upwind at less than 30° apparent wind, experiencing the thrill of speed. Downwind, you flirt with speeds of 12 to 15 knots, without ever having any fears because the balance is perfect.

The comfort of the Centurion includes three independent cabins, each with two bathrooms equipped with a shower. It also includes the comfort at sea of a stiff, powerful boat with gentle movements and exceptionally smooth steering.

Construction techniques, in all areas, demonstrate the mastery of quality that characterizes the shipyard.
