Yacht identification

[Shove]

I was on the Hamble river yesterday and noticed a circa 1970's yacht on a mooring. I'm just curious as to what it was? Should be simple to identify as it had a sword emblem on the bow. similar to this - only horizontal!

Any ideas?

Centurion?

Built by Waquiez in France, beautiful design by our own Kim Holman.
