Atlantic 44

French naval architect Daniel Andrieu designed this capable cruising sailboat for Greek builder Anassis, with production beginning in 1990. The Atlantic 44 represents a thoughtful balance between performance and comfort, making it well-suited for both coastal cruising and offshore passages. With a fin keel and spade rudder configuration, this masthead sloop delivers responsive handling while maintaining directional stability. The moderate displacement of 22,050 pounds, combined with a healthy ballast ratio, provides reassuring stability without sacrificing sailing performance. Her 780 square feet of sail area generates sufficient power for spirited sailing, while the hull's 7.90-knot theoretical hull speed indicates good passage-making ability. The boat's impressive comfort ratio of 27.31 suggests a motion that's easy on crew during extended voyages, while the capsize screening value of 2 indicates good stability characteristics for offshore work. Her fiberglass construction ensures durability and relatively straightforward maintenance. Built during an era when European yards were producing quality cruising boats for the charter and private market, the Atlantic 44 appeals to sailors seeking a proven platform for serious cruising. The design emphasizes seaworthiness and comfort over pure racing performance, making it an excellent choice for couples or small crews planning extended coastal or offshore adventures.
