Centurion 42

Centurion 42 is a 42 ′ 5 ″ / 12.9 m monohull sailboat designed by Ed Dubois and built by Wauquiez between 1985 and 1990.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Review of Centurion 42

Basic specs..

The Centurion 42 is equipped with a finn keel. The finn keel is the most common keel and provides splendid manoeuvrability. The downside is that it has less directional stability than a long keel.

The keel is made of lead. Compared with iron, lead has the advantage of being 44% heavier, which allows a smaller keel and hence less water resistance and higher speed.

The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 2.35 - 2.45 meter (7.71 - 8.01 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

The boat is typically equipped with an engine.

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Centurion 42 is about 350 kg/cm, alternatively 1964 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 350 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1964 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

The Bluewater Sailboat Wauquiez Centurion 47 company has a long history of building high-quality sailing yachts. The company was founded in the 1960s by Henri Wauquiez, who was a passionate sailor and boat builder.

Wauquiez Yachts quickly became known for their quality and performance, and by the 1970s, the company had established itself as a major player in the European sailing market. They have been building different models of Centurion line, starting from 34ft to 47ft, since the late 70’s and early 80’s. In the following decades, Wauquiez continued to innovate and improve its designs, using the latest materials and construction techniques to build boats that were both fast and comfortable. The company has a reputation for building durable and high-performance sailboats that are well-suited for both cruising and racing.

Centurion 47 was produced in the 2000s, and it was considered as one of the most popular models of the Centurion line. The boat is no longer in production, but it’s still considered as a valuable choice for people looking for a used boat.

For those interested in the design of sailboats, we suggest visiting the page Sailboat Designers . This page offers valuable information and insights into the designers of sailboats and is a great resource for anyone looking to learn more about this subject.

The Wauquiez 47 Pilot Saloon is a cruising sailboat that was first introduced in 2008, designed by the Berret-Racoupeau duo. This model was later replaced by the 48 Pilot Saloon in 2015, which was built on the same hull but with upgrades. The boat is known for its unique Pilot Saloon design, which is a combination of a deck saloon and a raised saloon. This architectural feature allows for crew and passengers to sail under cover and enjoy panoramic views due to the large glazed roof.

However, it should be noted that this design does obstruct forward views at the helm. The cockpit is designed for ease of use and safety and features an arch that supports the mainsail. Additionally, the transom opens electronically to create a swim platform. The interior is bright and spacious, with large windows that provide great views of both the surroundings and the rigging.

The shipyard’s reputation is well-established and its expertise is reflected in the materials handled with mastery, making the Wauquiez 47 Pilot Saloon a luxurious and powerful boat that is designed for life on board and long voyages.

The above deck of this boat is equipped with a variety of features to enhance the boating experience. The spinnaker pole is used to support and control the spinnaker sail, which is typically used during downwind sailing. The cockpit is comfortable with cushions and protected by a mainsail cover. The cockpit also features a teak table and teak-lined sidedecks, adding a touch of elegance to the space. Additionally, there is a cockpit shower, perfect for rinsing off after a swim. The boat is steered using a steering wheel. Overall, this boat’s deck has everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable day on the water.

Now you can also precisely calculate the expenses related to boat ownership to make smart choices based on your budget and sailing needs. Use this bluewater Sailboat Calculator to explore different options and make the best decision.

  1. CENTURION 42

    A boat with a BN of 1.6 or greater is a boat that will be reefed often in offshore cruising. Derek Harvey, "Multihulls for Cruising and Racing", International Marine, Camden, Maine, 1991, states that a BN of 1 is generally accepted as the dividing line between so-called slow and fast multihulls.
