Csy 44 Walk Through

Designed by the collaborative team of Frank Hamlin and Peter Schmitt, this substantial 44-footer represents CSY's commitment to building serious cruising vessels during the late 1970s and early 1980s. With only 40 hulls produced starting in 1978, the CSY 44 Walk Through has earned a reputation as a capable blue-water cruiser among those familiar with the builder's solid construction standards. The boat's impressive displacement of 37,000 pounds and generous beam of 13.25 feet create exceptional interior volume and seaworthiness for extended offshore passages. Its cutter rig provides excellent sail handling versatility, allowing crews to reduce sail area progressively as conditions deteriorate. The fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration offers a good balance between performance and directional stability. Notable strengths include the boat's substantial build quality typical of CSY's fiberglass construction and its excellent comfort ratio of 47.69, indicating minimal motion in seaway conditions. The capsize screening formula of 1.59 falls well within accepted parameters for offshore sailing, while the moderate sail area-to-displacement ratio suggests this is a cruiser optimized for comfort and safety rather than speed. The "Walk Through" designation likely refers to an innovative interior layout feature that distinguished this model from conventional designs of the era.
