Best Midsize Cruiser 40-44 Feet

  • By Herb McCormick
  • Updated: December 12, 2017

Elan gt5

Winner: Elan GT5

This is going to be a tough category,” said Bill Bolin of the Best Midsize Cruiser 40 to 44 Feet division. “We have three very different but very good boats in this class — the Elan GT5, the Hallberg-Rassy 412 and the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440.”

To begin, Bolin said of the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440, “It’s the best Jeanneau I’ve ever seen.” The judging panel agreed, crowning the boat the fleet’s Most Innovative design for 2018.

And what, exactly, led to that designation? “One big reason is the side decks,” said Tim Murphy. “One of the design features is wide-open side decks all the way aft” that permit easy egress going forward without the need to scramble over cockpit coamings. “It’s a clean path ahead,” he noted. Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, it’s something we expect to see on more boats, including a scaled-up Jeanneau 490, in the very near future.

“You go down below and, maybe for the first time, Jeanneau has separated the mast compression post from the main bulkhead,” he added. “Now there’s just a compression post that runs down into the main saloon, and the main bulkhead that would’ve come to that position is now several feet forward. So they’ve opened up more space in the main cabin and taken it away from the forward cabin, where they’re arguing you don’t need it quite as much. I think that’s also a fine change. It has twin rudders, and under sail, I thought the helm was beautiful. It’s a solid boat.”

jeanneau sun odyssey 440

So, too, thought Bolin, was the Hallberg-Rassy 412. “This is the largest aft-cockpit model Hallberg-Rassy has built,” he said. “There is a 40-foot center-cockpit model, but this is a different hull entirely, optimized for upwind performance, with a code zero sail for downwind work. There’s a retractable bow thruster — we saw a lot of those this year — to reduce drag and get the thruster deeper in the water and farther forward as well. The boat we inspected had upgraded sails, and when we went sailing, they were ­spectacular. There was a beautiful full-­battened sail and the boat sailed very well.

“It had a slippery hull and moved nicely,” he added. “We sailed it in 12 to 14 knots of breeze, so there was decent wind. Most of the time we were making 6.5 to 7 knots. As we fell off on a beam and then a broad reach, I think this was the first boat where we didn’t see a drastic drop in speed. It performed well on all points of sail. It had a nice big wheel and great visibility forward. It would be an easy boat to single­hand. I really like it.”

“This is a mainsail-driven boat, and I think that might explain why it’s so peppy off the wind,” said Murphy. “So the sail plan is a small jib with a big main. They’re one of the few remaining builders that are giving us a true traveler but also genoa sheet-lead controls from the cockpit, showing that they’re concerned about sail shape, and rightly so. Going down below, it’s the classic Hallberg-Rassy mahogany interior, and it’s just lovely, as lovely as it ever was. We’ve talked about good handholds, but on this boat, they weren’t just good, they were also beautiful. The fiddles are these beautiful rounded shapes that are perfect for your hand. They look great and feel great. Very nice.”

That left the Slovenian-built, 43-foot-4-inch Elan GT5. The company builds dedicated lines of racing and cruising boats, but, said Murphy, “The GT5 is sort of a hybrid between those two lines. It has a high-­performance hull and a very comfortable cruising interior.

Hallberg-Rassy 412

“Sailing it was pretty joyful,” he continued. “We sailed in very light air and it was still moving very nicely. It looked really good on the water. It really seemed to have answered the performance side of Elan’s DNA.”

“The company is doing some progressive things in terms of systems,” said Ed Sherman. “The electrical system on the boat has a nice, graphically designed power distribution panel with push buttons that light up things to let you know, for instance, that the running lights are on and that sort of thing.”

“I was really taken with this boat,” said Bolin. “It looks like a race boat from a distance, and as Tim mentioned, its DNA is rooted in that. But you go below and it’s very unique, with lots of special features. I like the galley-­forward arrangement a lot. You come down into the main cabin and you’ve got max beam where the living quarters are, you have a great sense of entry. Figuratively speaking, you’re not walking through the back door and the kitchen to get into the house. I think this layout makes very good use of space. And there’s lots of storage. Finally, I’d say it’s a high-tech boat, vacuum-bagged with 100 percent vinylester. There’s a lot to like about it.”

At the end of the day, Bolin’s colleagues agreed, which is why they chose the Elan GT5 as the Best Midsize Cruiser 40 to 44 Feet.

44 ft cruiser yacht

By popular demand

In response to strong demand from the worlds sailing community for a smaller true blue water yacht that incorporates the key Kraken design principals, I set the task to Kevin Dibley, Kraken’s award-winning naval architect, and he has now designed the latest addition to our fleet:  the Kraken 44.

image of blueprint for kraken 44

She will also benefit from the advances we have made in hybrid drive development in partnership with Combi electric drive motors.

A fundamental issue, that we have now solved with the inclusion of this hybrid drive system (which will be standard on the Kraken 44) is how to provide sufficient power for the comforts and resources we know are vital for comfortable long-term life on board. Air-conditioning, high volume water maker, fridge and freezer and electric cooking, to name but a few, will also be standard on the K44. In line with our philosophy, all of what you need is standard, and most of what you will want, is standard too. 

Such has been the improvement of hybrid drive technology that now the main engine, (likely to be a Yanmar 4JH57), when combined with the Combi 15kW electric drive motor will provide all on-board power, maintaining our belief that potentially dangerous gas cooking systems must always be avoided.

We are very pleased with the sleek and purposeful look of the latest addition to our fleet, which has been designed to be the perfect world cruising boat for two people and she will  accommodate two children, or two adult guests as well.

Key Features

All of our yachts include some of the best-designed features available on a new sailing yacht today and the Kraken 44 is no different.

The Zero Keel™

The Zero Keel™

Zero bolts, zero risk. Each Kraken yacht includes our fully integral ZERO™ Keel to protect against floating debris and grounding.

The Alpha Rudder™

Each yacht includes the ALPHA™ Rudder System, incorporating a full-length skeg-hung rudder and in-water removable rudder bearings.

Build Structure

All Kraken yachts are built with a substantial interior structure to ensure keel delamination and failure cannot occur.

“The Kraken 44 is a true blue water cruising yacht with the DNA of her bigger sisters, the Kraken 50, 58 and 66.

Our brief was to create a 44-footer with Comfort, Seakindliness, Safety and Performance wrapped up in all the features that make her a Kraken including the Zero Keel and Alpha Rudder. No compromises were to be made on any of these key point. The Kraken 44 combines ease of handling, safety, high performance and luxury with a style and structural integrity that will set new standards for years to come.

We are proud to have worked with Kraken Yachts on their 50+ fleet and we are excited about this new venture into the under 50-foot market.”

Plans & Data

Project 44 is under development right now but it will be two & half to three years before we can deliver the first Kraken 44.

We will be releasing more information and details over the next few months, please bare in mind, any information shown here is liable to change.

44 ft cruiser yacht

Pricing The 44

We know cost is a significant factor for many aspiring world cruisers, so to help maximise our build efficiency we will focus on one four-berth layout . Our design team is working on the layout now and we will send out an update on that as soon as possible.

Pricing for the standard Kraken 44 will be circa €850,000. This has increased a little from our original price forecast due to our inclusion now of Hybrid Drive and full Lithium batteries as standard. Please note; this is a very full Kraken ‘nothing further needed’ standard specification, and you can expect to sail her off the delivery dock to anywhere in the world, without spending anything further on the specifications.

It should be noted that what is already included in the Kraken 44 as standard, would normally add €200,000 – €250,000 in upgrades from other yacht builders.

We are waiting now for some final quotations from equipment suppliers, but, since we have now finalised the hull, deck, rig and sail plan we expect to be able to give a definitive sales price shortly, notwithstanding that, it will fall circa €850,000. 

Reserve Your 44

We will shortly be opening a reservation list for build slots for the Kraken 44 and production time will begin late 2025 – early spring 2026.

Our build slot reservation scheme is now available for the Kraken 44.

2024 Boat of the Year: HH44

  • By Dave Reed
  • December 18, 2023

HH44 testing

On a cool late-October morning in Annapolis, Maryland, Sailing World ’s Boat of the Year judges stepped on board the gleaming red HH44 built by the Hudson Yacht Group in China. With them for the test sail was HH Catamarans president Seth Hynes and commissioning skipper Chris Bailet, who had tuned the rig and bent on the boat’s Dacron delivery sails. (The race sails were delayed in shipping.) It was their first time sailing the boat too, and like the judges, they were eager to see what it could do.

As the crew slipped dock lines and motored away in silence, the boat’s twin 10-kilowatt electric engines propelled the sleek catamaran through the mooring field in silence. If not for the sound of water gurgling from the transoms and the apparent wind blowing across the foredeck, the judges could barely tell they were underway.

The mainsail was then carefully hoisted inside the lazy jacks, and the halyard held firm with an innovative Karver KJ cone (a conical rope-holding device that acts like a restricter). They bore away and unfurled the non-overlapping jib, which snapped full, and the boat immediately accelerated. 

“Once we got going, it was 5, 6, 7 knots and then—boom—we’re right up to 10,” Stewart says. And with that they were laying tracks all over the Chesapeake Bay, making good pace on all points of sail, even without a reaching sail to deploy. (That too was stuck in transit.)

HH44 salon

After two hours of straight-­lining, tacking, jibing, and enjoying the comforts of the interior in a 10- to 15-knot southerly and sharp Chesapeake chop, I extracted the judges from the boat and asked, “So?”

“Boat of the Year,” was veteran Boat of the Year judge Chuck Allen’s immediate response. “That thing is wicked.”

Greg Stewart and Mike Ingham confirmed with nods of approval and big grins. There was no need to debate any further: The HH44 had earned the first award of what will be more to come. This $2 million crossover catamaran is the performance sailor’s retirement race boat. [Editor’s note: The judges’ estimated price was based on an expected racing inventory and associated hardware, but according to HH Catamarans, the new 2024 pricing is as follows: The HH44-OC will start at $995K and is approximately $1.3m fully optioned with EcoDrive and sails). The HH44-SC will start at $1.45m and be approximately $1.6 million fully optioned with EcoDrive and sails.]

HH44 helm

With a stated 37 of these 44-footers on order as of late October and a waiting list of three-plus years, HH44s will someday be scattered about in cruising grounds around the world, says Hynes. But it’s only a matter of time—and it will be sooner than later—before owners gather and give the racing thing a go.  

Aft lounge

The HH44 is the smallest of the builder’s new lineage of hybrid-powered performance catamarans (there is a 52-footer in the works), so it is positioned as an entry point into big-cat sailing. This model does not require a professional captain or crew because simplicity and owner-operator considerations are prevalent throughout the boat, which is designed by young naval architect James Hakes, son of Paul Hakes, one of the company founders. Chinese entrepreneur Hudson Wang is the other “H” of HH Catamarans.

“It had a great groove upwind. The self-tacking jib was really easy to deal with, and for the mainsail it was just a few feet of ease on the mainsheet, adjust the powered traveler up to center, trim on and go.”

“James brought the hybrid idea with him, and Hudson was willing to take a risk and look at doing something kind of game-changing in the industry with our parallel-­hybrid approach,” Hynes says. Morrelli & Melvin was intimately involved in every performance aspect of the boat, from the appendages to the final hull profile.

“It’s a diesel engine with a shaft drive, and then independent of that is an electric motor with a belt to the shaft, so they’re really independent of each other,” Hynes explains.  

HH44 Sport Cruiser rear

HH isn’t the first or only builder to use the system from Hybrid Marine, but Hake’s approach to the boat overall is inextricably linked to maximizing solar coverage, which means a clean roof and placing the helm stations down in the cockpit. To address the known challenges of cockpit steering in such catamarans, the steering wheels pivot inboard and outboard to allow for better forward visibility and communication with anyone on the foredeck dealing with sails, anchors or dock lines.

Placing the steering stations in the cockpit eliminates the tiered wedding-cake look of most big catamarans these days. More importantly, doing so allows them to lower the sail plan. “That allows for more sail area and less stress on the standing rigging,” Stewart says. “Plus, it looks so much better.”

There are 4,432 watts worth of solar panels piled onto the coach roof, which Hynes says has plenty of juice to get by off the grid, even in low-light conditions. “At full battery capacity, you can run the boat at full throttle using the two 10-kilowatt electric motors and get 7 knots of boatspeed for approximately two hours,” he says. “In light air, you can even keep your leeward electric motor running to build yourself some apparent wind. That’s what’s great about this system: You can sail quietly when no one else can sail at all.”

HH44 daggerboards

The port helm station is where a lot of the boathandling happens; there are powered halyard winches and a meticulous array of labeled jammers. Tails disappear into a deep trough forward of the pedestal. The wheels are sized just right, Stewart says. “Initially, I was steering from the weather wheel and I could see fine, and when I went to the leeward wheel, I could easily see the telltales. It had a great feel to the helm—light and responsive with no slop or tightness.”

In Allen’s sailing assessment of the HH44: “It had a great groove upwind. The self-tacking jib was really easy to deal with, and for the mainsail it was just a few feet of ease on the mainsheet, adjust the powered traveler up to center, trim on and go. There is some choreography to learn with the steering wheel, though. You have to move the wheel inboard to get better access to the sail and daggerboard controls during the tack. But once you’re done, you pop the wheel right back out to the outboard position. We didn’t have a screecher to really light it up downwind, but even with the Dacron jib and main, the boat took off. I was really impressed.”

44 ft cruiser yacht

One wish for Stewart would be a sliver of a coach roof window for quick sail-trim checks, but he understood the priority of using every inch of solar-panel coverage.

Not having a sail-trim window wasn’t an issue for Ingham, however. “Most of the time, you’ll trim it to your best guess, take a step outboard and up the stairs right next to the wheel, and check yourself on the trim. It’s all push buttons anyway, so you’re not having to reload a winch or anything like that every time you make an adjustment.”

Even as the morning’s fresh breeze abated, the boat continued to perform beyond expectations, Stewart says. “As we got down to 5 knots of wind, the boat was still quick through the tacks. We didn’t have to back the jib at all, and it sailed at good angles upwind. I was impressed with how well it tacked, and how well it tracked with only one daggerboard down.”

44 ft cruiser yacht

Stewart, a naval architect himself, also appreciated the boat’s modern styling and “sexy-looking profile,” especially the uncluttered interior. “It’s a nice departure from other similar-­size catamarans,” he says. “I like the styling—it caught my eye the very first time I saw the rendering. The transom angle and the reverse bow give it nice aesthetics and the buoyancy you need. The curved boards worked well and are integrated nicely on with the boat. Overall, it’s a great-looking package, and it would be a lot of fun to do some races on.”

“We will definitely end up racing in the Caribbean and doing some fun events for owners,” Bailet says. “The cool thing about this boat is you can take a smaller crew of friends and race competitively, and it isn’t going to cost you $50,000 in paid crew and housing. You can race this boat with three or four people, no problem. Doublehandling is pretty easy too, but if you really wanted to go banging around the buoys, with this boat it would be easy.”

BACK TO THE FUTURE

In evolutionary terms, the EB44 is a spectacularly successful example of gene splicing! As the original ‘Downeaster’, Eastbay set the standard against which all coastal cruisers are judged. While carefully preserving its traditions of style, luxury and speed, we’ve enhanced its DNA with the latest marine technology, manufacturing materials and construction techniques. It’s quite literally the best of both worlds – the past and the future.

Inner Space

The wide beam of the EB44 creates ample space for a three-stateroom layout with two large heads – luxurious, overnight accommodation for six adults. The expansive salon and cockpit, bright and airy thanks to the huge electric windows, ensure you will have plenty of room for entertaining the family and friends who may also join you onboard. This classic design style provides everything you need, and nothing you don’t. Beauty without ostentation!

The test of time

The C. Raymond Hunt hull design is a time-honoured classic and one that we have retained for the EB44. The deep-V form attains a top speed of 33 knots, a cruising speed of 23, and maintains a remarkably level running attitude without perceptible bow rise. This leads to a smooth and unusually dry ride in rough conditions. Her longitudinal centre of gravity is so perfectly balanced that you can throttle up and down without adversely affecting the perfect poise of her trim.

Advanced simplicity

Accessed via a teak hatch in the cockpit, the EB44’s engine room is a study in orderliness, simplicity and practicality. There’s no spiderweb of wires, hoses and cables and no complicated fuel manifold. All components have been thoughtfully installed and colour-coded where necessary to make them easy to identify and access. The IPS drive units have plenty of headroom which makes maintenance work easy and convenient.

The most instant, eye-grabbing feature are its lines, penned by longtime Galeon collaborator Tony Castro Design Studio. Castro used windows in this design to masterful effect. An unbroken piece of hullside glazing that resembles a tanto sword spans nearly the entirety of this boat’s 45-foot, 8-inch length, serving to elongate the profile for the viewer.

That’s critical on a boat this size. With its flybridge, it runs the risk of looking boxy. Castro also used glass to fully surround the flybridge. The choice of a see-through material, as opposed to more common fiberglass or carbon fiber, helps the boat’s appearance to remain low profile as the windscreen all but disappears to the eye at a distance.

Galeon 440 Fly looks more like an express cruiser than a flybridge motoryacht. But it feels like a much larger yacht.

The vessel’s main deck is typical of Galeon for its creativity. The port and starboard-side gunwales both drop down electrically to form wide terraces, making for an enormous al-fresco entertainment space in the after section of the boat, particularly when paired with a hydraulic swim platform that delivers easy access to a grill and wetbar in the transom.

One cool feature about those terraces is that when they are folded out, the hull windows become the floor. At night you can flip on the fish-attracting underwater lights and take in a real show as seemingly every swimming thing in the vicinity draws near.

The high windscreen here will provide good protection from gusts when under way, while a bimini screens unwanted sunshine. Castro used every inch he could glean from the bridge, effectively turning it into a new deck for large gatherings, rather than a nook for a small group.

Inside, the boat has a generous salon with galley, which take full advantage of the natural light from the windows, with three staterooms in the deck below.

The full-beam master amidships has lots of storage and good headroom, making it a weekend sanctuary for a cruising couple, and with the two other staterooms, a large family or group of friends, will be comfortable. A terrycloth headboard piece over the master bed with a diamond-shaped design running through it is a nice detail, speaking to Galeon’s way of adding luxury wherever it can across the interior.

The Gdansk builder never slacks on interesting elements, and while the 440 is still tame compared to other Galeon models, it has enough panache to knock many competitors out of the water.

The mahogany/stainless steel steering wheel guarantees excellent control and manoeuvrability while sailing or using the inboard Volvo sail-drive. The winches are positioned within easy reach of the helmsman to make single-handed sailing possible. Combined with the long cockpit benches and comfortable cushions, you can bring up to eight non-experienced sailing friends or family. Whether you're sunbathing, dining, or simply enjoying the views, this is the perfect place to unwind.

Looking for a sailing boat that combines classic lines with modern technology, luxury design, and ease of maintenance? Look no further than the Eagle 44. This stunning yacht features an alternative to traditional teak decking. The spacious cockpit and single-handed sailing capabilities make her a joy to operate, while the high-end luxury design ensures that you and your guests will be sailing in style. With her fast yet comfortable performance, the Eagle 44 is the perfect choice for anyone seeking a high-end gentlemans yacht that delivers on all fronts. The synthesis of a lightweight vacuüm injected epoxy laminate with a modern keel and rudder configuration and powerful rig, makes the 44 a joy to sail.

The white Selden mast has an in-mast car system so the mainsail is easy to hoist. The furling jib is controlled directly from the helm.

44 ft cruiser yacht

In addition to enjoying the pure sailing performance of the 44, leisure opportunities also abound. Her enormous cockpit offers ample seating for family or friends and features a large mahogany table with a sink and bar-box, so a cold drink is always at hand when sailing. Four large cockpit lockers provide ample storage space. For the times, you wish to escape with just the two of you, the cabin features a large double V-shaped bed. To complete the comfort a toilet is convenient and neatly built in out of sight.

The 44 is a true daysailer with no compromises on looks. Top quality materials are combined with excellent craftsmanship and design throughout the 44. The white woodwork interior finished with mahogany trims and alcantara ceiling makes a classic and luxury interior. Daylight is provided through the deck hatch which is flush mounted so as not to disturb the deck lines. Standard the 44 comes ‘ready to sail’ with North Sails sails included as well as high end deck equipment.

Our 44 foot sailboat can be personalized in many ways. Hull colour, colour of the Permateek deck and caulking and by making your personal choice for the interior and exterior cushion fabric, you can design the Eagle 44 to your personal preferences. Furthermore, there are performance upgrades possible as for example different race orientated sails like North Sails 3Di sails, a carbon mast or a deep keel. 

Please contact  us for more information. Hopefully, you choose for Leonardo Yachts as a partner, so we can make your ultimate sailing dream become a reality.

44 Yacht Power Catamaran

Born of innovation and experience, the luxurious Aquila 44 Yacht Power Catamaran is a world leader in its class. Designed to be both a long-distance cruising yacht and a highly social platform, the highly experienced Aquila design and engineering team created the Aquila 44 Yacht to optimize performance.

Two Volvo Penta diesel engines are situated aft behind the living compartments reducing noise and vibrations. Bulbous bows increase the waterline for greater efficiency while reducing pitching moments. Multifunction displays, digital controls, joystick operation, engine monitoring displays, thrusters, and widely spaced main engines make operating the Aquila 44 Yacht easily accomplished by a single couple.

With an enormous amount of attention to detail and knowledge of how owners use their boats, both the exterior and interior spaces are perfected to serve those utilizations. The stairway from the flybridge to the foredeck gives safe, easy access to the ground tackle locker and forward cleats when anchoring or docking. Wide side decks and safety handrails are another example of the Aquila's commitment to owners’ and guests’ comfort and safety on the 44 Yacht model.

Available with a 3-cabin layout featuring a salon and galley with 360° views and an extensive flybridge, the layout of the Aquila 44 Yacht makes entertaining a crowd aboard easy. Boarding from the port or starboard swim platforms, guests step up to the aft deck with an al fresco dinette. The window partition between the aft deck and the interior galley lifts, and the countertop folds out to create a service bar. The galley is strategically placed between the aft deck and the salon and dinette on the main deck, making it easy to serve guests inside and outside. A summer kitchen is centrally located to attend to guests in the aft-mounted dinette, and those on the flybridge can enjoy panoramic views along with the operator while underway.

Customization options are available to meet an array of boating lifestyles.
