Construction & Layout
Built by the Henri Wauquiez yard, the boat features solid hand-laid fiberglass and heavy structural integrity. Stepping below deck on a Wauquiez 33 reveals the shipyard's commitment to high-end joinery, with extensive use of solid teak and high-quality veneers that have famously stood the test of time. The layout is a classic "European" offshore arrangement, optimized for use at sea rather than just at the dock. To port of the companionway is an L-shaped galley, while to starboard sits a dedicated, forward-facing chart table—a feature often sacrificed in modern boats of this length.
The main saloon consists of two straight settees. The "Classic" variant features a V-berth forward and a single quarter berth aft, providing comfortable sleeping arrangements for four adults. Headroom is generous for a 33-footer, staying above 6 feet throughout the main cabin. Unlike its smaller sibling, the Centurion 32, the Gladiateur utilized its increased beam (3.35m) to create a much more open and airy living space, documented in the Wauquiez Heritage archives.
