Pj 44

Designed by the legendary Sparkman & Stephens naval architecture firm and built by the renowned Nautor/Palmer Johnson partnership beginning in 1972, this 44-footer represents classic yacht design from sailing's golden era. The collaboration between these prestigious names resulted in a vessel that embodies both performance and elegance, characteristics that defined quality yachts of the early 1970s. With her moderate displacement of 28,000 pounds and substantial ballast ratio of 45%, the PJ 44 offers excellent stability and seaworthiness for both coastal and offshore passages. The fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration provides responsive handling while maintaining directional stability in varied conditions. Her masthead sloop rig carries 930 square feet of sail area, delivering respectable performance with a theoretical hull speed of 7.80 knots. The comfort ratio of 40.21 places this yacht firmly in blue-water cruising territory, indicating motion characteristics well-suited for extended passages. Meanwhile, the capsize screening formula of 1.66 suggests good stability for offshore work. The fiberglass construction ensures durability, while the Sparkman & Stephens pedigree guarantees proven sea-keeping abilities and timeless styling that continues to turn heads in anchorages worldwide.
