Centurion 32

Designed by Kim Holman and built by the respected French yard Henri Wauquiez from 1968 to 1977, this classic fin-keeled sloop represents solid European craftsmanship from sailing's golden era. With 380 hulls produced over nearly a decade, the Centurion 32 earned a reputation as a capable coastal cruiser that could handle offshore passages when properly equipped. The boat's moderate proportions strike a thoughtful balance between comfort and performance. Her fin keel with rudder mounted on a skeg provides directional stability while maintaining reasonable maneuverability, making her well-suited for both experienced sailors and those developing their skills. The fiberglass construction was built to last, with many examples still actively sailing today. At just under 33 feet overall with a comfortable 9.75-foot beam, she offers adequate interior space for extended cruising while remaining manageable for a small crew. Her masthead sloop rig is straightforward and efficient, ideal for coastal exploration and moderate offshore work. The generous ballast-to-displacement ratio contributes to her seaworthy character, while the moderate sail area ensures she won't be overpowered in fresh conditions. This is a boat that rewards careful seamanship with reliable, predictable performance across a wide range of sailing conditions.
