Cs 44

Designed by renowned naval architect Tony Castro and built by Canadian Sailcraft, this rare 44-footer represents a fascinating piece of sailing history with only a single hull produced during its brief 1985-1986 production run. The boat showcases Castro's signature approach to performance cruising design, combining sophisticated engineering with practical sailing characteristics. The hull construction utilizes an advanced fiberglass and Kevlar composite with balsa core, delivering exceptional strength-to-weight ratio while maintaining the structural integrity needed for serious offshore work. With a displacement of 22,000 pounds and 9,000 pounds of ballast, the design achieves an impressive balance between stability and performance. The fin keel with spade rudder configuration provides excellent maneuverability and responsiveness. Her sail area of 970 square feet paired with the masthead sloop rig creates a powerful yet manageable sail plan suitable for both coastal cruising and offshore passages. The comfort ratio of 27.86 suggests a relatively stiff, performance-oriented vessel that prioritizes sailing ability over interior volume, while the capsize screening formula of 1.96 indicates good offshore seaworthiness. This unique vessel would appeal to experienced sailors seeking a rare, well-engineered yacht capable of serious cruising with spirited performance characteristics.
