The Centuri Point was initially released in 1969. It was designed to show that a model rocket did not have to look like a rocket to fly. Basically a cone shape, it taught some principles of stability. It also showed that the rocket could be used as its own "chute." The Point did not stay on the market long, disappearing from the 1972 catalog, but its look and appeal was definitely vintage Centuri.

The Semroc Point™ is a faithful recreation of the original. It uses a precision shaped balsa nose cone. Laser-cut balsa fins are included instead of the original blank sheet with a fin pattern sheet. The canopy was changed to self-adhesive from the original water-based glue. A high gloss full color shroud is provided so there is very little left to paint. An elastic cord is provided instead of the original rubber shock cord.
