The Centurion 40 is a fast, elegant and highly seaworthy cruiser designed by Rob Humphreys and Ed Dubois, built by the quality French manufacturer Henri Wauquiez. Although she has seven berths, she is ideal for two couples, as she has separate heads by the fore and aft cabins. This 1988 example has the optional shallow draught led bulbed keel. Ashore in Hampshire.

Wauquiez is named after Henri Wauquiez, who built his first yacht in 1965. Wauquiez boats were always more expensive than those from other French builders, the company sometimes being referred to as a boutique yacht builder. Wauquiez aimed to build boats with the same combination of performance and quality as Nautor Swans. Most early Wauquiez boats were designed by Holman & Pye, and the later boats by Ed Dubois. After the death of Henri Wauquiez, Beneteau acquired Wauquiez in 1997, and sold the company on in 2008 to Group Experton-Revollier, a major French industrial company. Wauquiez is still currently building cruising yachts from 42 to 57 feet.

The Centurion 40 was designed by a collaboration of Ed Dubois and Rob Humphreys, and was said to be a fast cruising derivative of the very successful One Ton Cup racer "Jade", a Humphreys design. The result is a fast cruising boat with serious offshore abilities. The Centurion 40 is one of a series of Centurion branded yachts built by Wauquiez over the years in sizes ranging from 32 to 61 ft. The 40 was built with either a deep lead keel giving 7' 6 draught or a shallow draught lead bulbed keel giving just 5' 3 " draught - this yacht being the more practical for cruising shallow keel option.

The Centurion 40 was built from 1988 to 1993, with 33 boats built. There was also a later Centurion 40S model built from 2002 to 2007 with over 100 built.
