Ben Rogerson Yacht Design's latest creation for CR Yachts represents a compelling blend of performance and comfort in the competitive 44-foot cruising yacht segment. This Swedish-built yacht showcases modern construction techniques with its GRP hull featuring a PVC core sandwich, delivering both strength and weight savings for enhanced performance. The fractional sloop rig configuration and fin keel with spade rudder arrangement clearly positions this yacht for serious sailors seeking responsive handling characteristics. With a sail area to displacement ratio of 19.54, the boat offers spirited performance under sail while maintaining the stability needed for confident offshore passages. The substantial 80-horsepower engine ensures reliable auxiliary power for challenging conditions or tight marina maneuvering. Notable design elements include generous beam for interior volume without compromising seaworthiness, evidenced by the favorable capsize screening value of 1.44. The moderate comfort ratio of 41.07 suggests a yacht optimized more for sailing performance than ultimate cruising luxury, making it ideal for active sailors who prioritize handling over pure comfort. This latest offering from CR Yachts appears well-suited for coastal cruising and weekend racing, with sufficient offshore capability for experienced crews seeking adventure beyond protected waters.
