Wauquiez Centurion 32

The Wauquiez Centurion 32 is a timeless French classic, renowned for her well-balanced sailing qualities and robust fibreglass hull. This example, known as "Cap Hello", has always been meticulously maintained by her owner and is in excellent condition. In 2020 the boat underwent a thorough refit at Breskens Yacht Service, including the installation of a brand-new engine. In spring 2026 she was professionally serviced again and launched — fully ready for the season.
