Designer Ed Dubois and the venerable French boatyard of Henri Wauquiez came together in the creation of the Wauquiez Centurion 40. The Centurion series largely resembles the Nautor Swans of her time. Like the Swan, she was a high end performance cruiser/racer conceived when a boat of this type was still defined as capable of crossing oceans, weekend cruising and beating the competition around the race course. Fast, comfortable and well built, Crescendo serves all these purposes. Her two stateroom layout features a large head and shower, spacious salon with large dinette, well configured galley and ample storage space in lockers throughout the boat and a full size sail locker forward. A total of 33 Centurion 40s were produced between 1987 and 1993. Crescendo is #32. There were several subsequent variations to the 40 foot model under new ownership of Beneteau. This is one of the few commissioned with a deep draft fin keel for optimal upwind performance — a benefit to any Pacific Northwest sailor. Crescendo is a proven race winner in the Pacific Northwest and a veteran of the Pacific Cup race from San Francisco to Hawaii. She has been well maintained and upgraded by her owner of 24 years. Highlights:
- Lithium house batteries
- Xantrex 1800W inverter/charger
- Diesel fired forced air cabin heater
- 2008 marinized 50 hp Kubota engine with low hours
- Navigation computer with NobleTec charts
