My 44 catamaran.

Architecture by Daniel Andrieu and interior design by the Pierangelo Andreani Studio, Fountaine Pajot launched the MY 44 in early 2017 with the promise of it being the shipyard’s most successful power catamaran. True to their word, Fountaine Pajot did unveil a power catamaran with not only an extremely spacious saloon and accommodations but also a remarkably fuel-efficient sailing experience.

DESIGN – INTERIOR & EXTERIOR

Fountaine Pajot completely reconceptualized the use of space on a catamaran. Instead of the traditional transoms, the MY 44 boasts a fixed and a hydraulic teak beach that stretches full beam and is controlled with a remote. From the platform, a couple of steps lead up to the deck from both port and starboard side and then another set of steps lead up to the symmetrical side-decks. The side-decks are wide and well-protected by the rails that come up to about 25 inches.

The forward cockpit of the MY 44 is spacious and consists of two comfortable lounges on each of the sun pads. With no trampoline, the forward cockpit offers a large, unencumbered space for looking out at the sea or relaxing in the sun. The two storage lockers on the forward cockpit are also deep and wide, ideal for storing linens and additional equipment.

Fountaine Pajot has also moved away from the traditional design of the aft cockpit where it also served as a dining area. Now, the cockpit serves primarily as a seating area and appears to be a mere extension of the saloon when the sliding glass door is wide open. The bench seat across the stern faces forward and has storage lockers underneath. It is entirely covered from the top with a drop-down canvas for added protection from the sides.

From the port side of the aft deck, a stylish spiral staircase leads to the flybridge which can easily house up to 8 people for dinner. It features an L-shaped settee wrapped around a wooden desk and a large sun pad that can be converted into seats facing forward. There is also an additional station with a drawer fridge, storage, sink, and a trash case. On the hard-top roof of the flybridge, a shade can be pulled back to reveal a sunroof.

The saloon of the MY 44 is not only commodious but also has considerable headspace. At the direct entrance from the cockpit is a contemporary galley from where the main living area is a step up.

The galley of the MY 44 is U-shaped and has plenty of storage space in the form of cupboards and drawers as well as multiple storage compartments underneath the floor. The countertops are sleek and extensive and are fitted with double stainless steel sinks. The galley is equipped with a convection cooktop, oven, and a full-sized fridge and freezer.

The saloon of the MY 44 is designed in a modern and stylish fashion with a couch to starboard side and an L-shaped settee to port. Surrounded by the settee is a wooden cocktail table which can also be easily converted into an expansive dining table. The saloon enjoys an all-around view of the outside with panoramic windows and is also well-ventilated because of the two opening hatches.

The saloon also has an interior helm station in addition to the exterior helm station. The interior helm station is to the starboard side (like the exterior station) and features a bench seat for two behind the wheel and a large navigation instrument panel, making the station fully-equipped and fully-functional.

All in all, the saloon of the MY 44 is exceedingly impressive due to its clever use of space and the comfort and luxuries it offers.

ACCOMMODATIONS

In the Maestro version of the MY 44 catamaran, there are three cabins in total with the entire port hull dedicated to the owner’s suite.

The owner’s suite in the port hull boasts an exclusive king-sized island bed with lateral access which faces a rectangular window. There is ample storage space within the cabin too in the form of drawers, cupboards, and storage underneath the bed. There are also quite a few storage compartments underneath the floors, seamlessly blended with the flooring. The cabin itself is kept bright and airy with LED spotlights, bedside reading lights, and a large porthole. The en-suite bathroom has a separate shower and head and also offers considerable storage space in the form of cabinets. The bathroom, too, is well-ventilated with a porthole, a deck hatch, and an extractor fan.

The starboard consists of two cabins and two bathrooms with the aft cabin being slightly bigger. The aft cabin has a queen-sized island bed while the forward cabin has twin beds. Both offer storage furniture, bedside reading lights, and ventilation via porthole

ENGINE ROOMS

The MY 44 is powered by standard 260 HP Volvo Penta IPS 350 twin diesel engines. The engine rooms of the catamaran are accessed from the aft cockpit. The starboard engine room also houses a generator and the cruise air system. Both the rooms are neat and spacious, comfortably placed for all the routine maintenance checks.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The overall length of Fountaine Pajot MY 44 is 13.4 meters and it has a beam of 6.61 meters. The full load displacement of the catamaran is 22.5 tonnes. It has a total fuel capacity of 2000 liters and a total freshwater capacity of 700 liters.

PRICE RANGE

The price of the MY 44 varies from $900,000 to $1,400,000.

In conclusion, the Fountaine Pajot MY 44 can very easily be adopted as a second home on the sea. It is particularly designed to be modern and comfortable, all the while being top-notch motoryacht. Its large living space, coupled with its fuel-efficiency, makes the MY 44 a breakthrough in motor catamaran cruising.

Available for private ownership or this MY44, Tidewater, can remain in our charter fleet, and the sale conveys an existing book of charter business through 2024.

Virgin Charter Yachts 

Virgin Charter Yachts is a private charter company that has specialized in offering motor yachts and power catamarans for charter in the British Virgin Islands since 1996.    Our company offers a personally curated fleet of only ~25 luxury yachts for charter, and this allows us to provide extensive preventative maintenance to our yachts and they show more like private yachts rather than the typical 'charter boats' seen at the big companies that have 300+ yachts to maintain.  

Tidewater joined our BVI fleet new in March of 2020 and has been constantly maintained and upgraded by our team of in-house engineers and shipwrights and she shows in above-average condition.   The BVI was closed to tourists from March 2020 until May 2021, so Tidewater has seen very light charter use, as is illustrated by her low hours and fantastic overall condition. 

The primary benefit to charter yacht ownership is that by offering your yacht for charter, you are able to generate charter income that in most cases, offsets all the annual costs of ownership.  Rather than paying your monthly dockage, insurance, power/water, maintenance etc. out-of-pocket, the revenue you make from charter covers these monthly bills for you.  In addition to charter revenue, there are huge financial opportunities through leveraging effective tax strategies for your yacht purchase as well as depreciation.

Part of the appeal of yacht ownership with Virgin Charter Yachts is we provide a hassle-free ownership experience. With more than two decades of charter yacht experience, we coordinate all aspects of ownership so the only thing you need to worry about is when you want to come down and enjoy time aboard Tidewater!! We take care of coordinating everything related to yacht ownership and chartering; insurance, dockage, maintenance, reservations, crew, booking calendars, marketing, parts ordering, polishing schedules etc. It is truly WORRY-FREE yacht ownership!  Since we are a boutique company, we intentionally limit our fleet to ~25 yachts, in order to offer the highest quality service to our customers and owners and to keep our yachts impeccably maintained.

We take pride in our happy customers

Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb

I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing – wonderful bonus.

Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns – you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.

— Beverly Cory

Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.

I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.

— Eric Boutiette

Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.

Long distance cruising aboard a catamaran motor yacht MY 44

Patrick and Janet

Trip duration

“Our motto is play hard !”

Patrick and Janet Hayes, a retired couple and happy owners of “Chapter Too”, are living the dream life aboard their Fountaine Pajot MY 44. These two environmentally conscious cruisers spent several of the last five years cruising the world promoting awareness on environmental issues.

“We would describe our boat as a “floating condo”.  We’ve always loved the water and have lived on a boat since 2014, so when it came time to transition to power, we wanted living space, storage and stability on the water that only Motor Yachts catamarans offered for this size.”

“Our MY 44 arrived in October 2018 and we moved aboard in December 2018, just before the holiday season.  At the time of delivery,  Chapter Too  was wrapping up at the St. Petersburg Boat Show in Florida.  We quickly moved aboard and began preparing the boat for long-distance cruising. We cruised Florida for Christmas and New Years, so our family could join us and share the experience of our new boat.

The main reason the Fountaine Pajot MY 44 appealed to us was the speed, spaciousness and build quality. Plus, losing a tall mast gave us the option to cruise the ICW (Inter Coastal Water-Bay) when the weather wasn’t optimal”

Before acquiring their Fountaine Pajot MY 44, Pat and Janet sailed the South Pacific on a 45-foot sailing catamaran. After returning to the US, they sailed Cuba and the east coast before deciding to shift to power and purchase their first motor yacht.

“After the holidays, we spent some time having warranty work completed before heading to the Bahamas for the 2019 spring season.   While in the Bahamas, we cruised as far north as the Grand Bahamas, the Berry Islands, Eleuthera, Nassau and south through the Exuma Islands.  On several occasions in various areas of the Bahamas we worked collecting plastic rubbish and cleaning beaches.

The best memories of the summer were when our family, including our grandson, joined us on the boat for Janet’s surprise 60th birthday over Labor Day weekend in Boston, MA. Prior to that weekend, the first family experience was during the December 2018 holiday season. The boat was very comfortable. We could sleep seven adults and one child comfortably, enjoy meals together on the large dining table, and relax on the flybridge with sundowners at sunset.”

Chapter Too arrived back to the U.S. in May 2019 before heading north along the coast of the U.S.

“The float plan was to head north up the eastern seaboard to Maine before turning around at the end of the summer season. While the plan was fast and loose, there was always the option to slow down or speed up depending on the conditions and weather. As the summer progressed, we quickly learned that we enjoyed cruising between locations at high speed in the Atlantic Ocean versus cruising the Intercoastal Waterway. Our stops were planned based on distance but also the option to play along the way.

Aboard  Chapter Too  we saw the Chesapeake Bay and continued up to Atlantic City, New York City, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.  As the summer was ending, we realised that Maine wouldn’t be an option, therefore the turnaround point was Gloucester, MA.”

At the time of the Fountaine Pajot Magazine publication, Patrick and Janet were heading south down the eastern seaboard while dodging storms.  Their plan was to arrive in Key West, FL for the holiday season so their immediate family can join them once again. They will then decide their next plan of action for the 2020 calendar year.

“In our travels, we meet all kinds of people and many are curious about our FP MY44. We have shown  Chapter Too  to numerous people who are genuinely interested in a boat of this size.  We have shared our experiences about the liveability of the boat and the ease with which two people can handle this size boat.  We’ve loved every moment onboard the MY 44 and look forward to making even more memories in the future.”

The natural stationary stability of the MY 44 is much higher than that of other catamarans, not to mention monohull motor yachts.

The MY 44 is ranked as the best power catamaran Fountaine Pajot has ever built and the best current cruising catamaran in its category. She is the only motor yacht to feature a purely IPS hull for easy maneuverability, astounding fuel economy, wave stability, and a power reserve of up to 1,000 miles for a motor yacht.

The interior of MY 44 is clean, modern and practical. The galley is a large space with plenty of storage space and all the amenities. The large flybridge, wide cockpit and spacious cabins are just some of the benefits of living aboard the MY 44.

Maestro version includes 1 owner's cabin + 1 bathroom; + 2 double cabins + 2 bathrooms.

Quote from our U.S.V.I. base.

Hi Chris and Eric!

We are having a family sail on Being Nauti this week and are having a thought about power cats.  They are really gaining ground down here and we think maybe we need to start talking about integrating them into the fleet on St Thomas.

Sitting in The Bight on Norman Island and about 15% of the boats on mooring balls are power cats.

We want to get ahead of this market instead of playing catch up!

Let us know your thoughts.

2024 Boat of the Year: HH44

• By Dave Reed
• December 18, 2023

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.)

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.]

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.  

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.  

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

Description

The first HH44 was launched in 2023 and premiered at the Cannes International Yachting Festival. This innovative design is the “baby” of the HH Catamarans range and has some interesting features such as her closed transoms, swing aft helms and a side boarding gate aft.

She’s a very pretty cat and will turn heads in the marina. This is HH’s first hybrid electric-powered catamaran although you can also opt for standard diesel power with shaft drives.

There are 2 versions, like much of the HH range. The Sports Cruising model: HH44-SC and the Ocean Cruising model: HH44-OC. The SC version is a “no-compromise-boat” with C-shaped carbon daggerboards, a carbon rig, a painted hull finish and 4,232 watts of solar with EcoDrive.

The OC saves you some money with the same hull, interior fit and finish quality as the sportier SC but with an aluminium mast, e-glass longeron, white gelcoat finish and mini-keels as standard.

Many of the ideas on this boat have been driven by a desire to maximise solar generation. There are 4,232W of peak solar on the cabin top alone with an option for more on the davits.

To maximise the solar, they have positioned the helms aft in a traditional sporty set-up. That way, there’s plenty of surface area up top to load on solar.

To help you stay protected in weather, these swing inboard, under the long coach-roof.

There are foldaway seats that tuck into the sides allowing you to either steer the boat from an outboard position with the wind in your hair and your sails’ tell-tales in full view.

Or swing the helms inboard and steer from the protected three-seat sofa on the aft beam.

To make it easy to board the boat in the marina, there is a side gate aft for when you come in along the dock.

The HH44 has been designed to sail. The whole idea behind this catamaran is to get sailing in light winds (you should match wind speed on a beam reach) and to maximise your SOG over a wide range of conditions.

So she has a self-tacking staysail, a solent, a fractional reacher and a furling gennaker. The boom is very low over the coach-roof which keeps the centre of effort from the mainsail low.

There is a traveller aft on the coach-roof to manage your mainsail shape. The HH44 points well into the wind (45 TWA) thanks to her C-shaped daggerboards which provide a bit of lift at speed.

All the lines come back to the helm, so she is set up for short-handed sailing.

• Light, rigid and fast, the HH44 is a great sailor
• Swing aft helms give you flexibility while opening up the living space in the aft cockpit
• The finish on this boat  is excellent
• Those closed transoms create a safe enclosed living space. They’ll also save you money in the marina
• A great looking boat that should hold her value well in the market due to the high demand
• The EcoDrive strikes a great balance between electric motoring with back-up diesels for safety
• With those aft helms, visibility is reduced towards the opposite bow, although the sight lines through the salon windows is good.
• This is not a cheap yacht
• The forward cabin is cosy. There is an option for a Pullman berth here (or convert to a workspace)
• The bow lockers seem small, although they are deep

Light Construction

Carbon and epoxy have been used to build as strong and stiff a yacht as possible while minimising the weight.

All of the lines run under the decks, so you have clear walkways around the boat. Stanchions are 900mm tall and a continuous, unbroken toe rail runs the length of the deck with all hull and deck joints fused and hidden.

Living Space

Moving inside, you’ll notice that the aft cockpit and salon forms one fully protected space with a large sofa on the aft beam and her closed transoms make this a safe family boat.

The angular cabin has two large, forward-facing windows that open fully from the the generously sized (187 sq ft or 17.4m2) salon. The standing height is over 2m (6’6”) high throughout.

One of the things that sets the HH44 apart from her competition is the quality of the finish on this semi-custom yacht.  She has foam core furniture and exceptional joinery throughout, and Bosch electric appliances as standard.

There are two options for a BBQ, one which replaces the aft sofa with a large LPG BBQ & Dive Tank station or you can mount an LPG Grill in the aft fishing rod holder, keeping the aft sofa. There is an outlet on the aft beam so you can run an electric BBQ.

In the salon, there is an L-shaped sofa with a table forward to starboard and a large nav station/workstation to port.

Tuck yourself into the U-shaped galley behind the nav station or pull out some cold ones from the fridge on the starboard side. The ventilation at anchor is excellent with those huge forward windows.

The starboard hull is the owner’s side and consists of the master cabin aft and a walk-in shower and head forward. The finish has an Italian feel to it and it is very light down here with a large window aft in the owner’s cabin.

This is a 44 foot performance cat, so there is not as much room down her as you’d find in a cruising cat, but she has ample space in the aft cabin and the storage is well organised.

HH offers three different forward cabin combinations. One is the standard layout with a single berth.

The second has a Pullman berth above the standard bed that folds away when not needed.

A third option does away with the beds and replaces them with a large work bench with shelves (for pantry storage or tools) and an extra Fridge/Freezer unit.

If you go for the option with the EcoDrive, the House Bank is powerful enough to run the A/C overnight without the need to run a generator. There is enough power to run the A/C in the master cabin for over three days.

EcoDrive, her Electric/Diesel Parallel Hybrid System The HH44 was designed from scratch to work with a parallel electric/diesel hybrid, with a minimum of 4,232W of peak solar array on the cabin top and hydro-regeneration while sailing.

EcoDrive gives you silent fume-free motoring at 7.5kts, fast torque for manoeuvring, and hydro-regeneration while sailing. Plus you have parallel, trusty diesel engines for safety.

A diesel engine is paired with a large electric motor, much like an alternator sits on a traditional diesel engine. A belt links the two units and a camshaft allows you to flip between the two power systems, giving you good redundancy. And remember, you have 2 of these systems on board!

The system is designed to offer from 1.5 to 3 hours of electric propulsion: more than enough time to exit the marina or anchorage and hoist the sails.

This boat has been designed to get sailing in light winds which ultimately is the key to an eco-friendly sailing yacht. And you will be recharging your batteries as you sail.

You can also fit the HH44 with traditional standalone diesel engines with shaft drives.

The HH44 is an innovative design that will appeal to sailors setting out across long distances who want to sail more and beat well to windward when needed. This yacht is in a different price league to something like an Aventura 37 of course, but there are two options here: the Sports Cruising and the Ocean Cruising models.

She’s a comfortable boat, although there is a trade-off on space down below particularly in the forward cabins.

With the EcoDrive option and a bow locker full of sails, you’ll be able to minimise your diesel usage on this boat while crossing oceans safely and quickly.

What is the price of an HH44? How much do they cost? The sportier HH44-SC starts at $1,325,000. Meanwhile the HH44-OC version starts at $957,000 USD. The total cost will vary depending on your options, but you should budget an additional $300k, perhaps more for the SC.

How much solar is there on the HH44? The HH44 has a generous 4,232W of peak solar as standard on the SC on the cabin top. You can fit 1,200W watts over the Davits, but this comes with a weight penalty.

What is the length of the boat with transoms up? With the transoms up, the LOA from davits to Bow Sprit is 14.23m (46.68 feet), so fine for a 15m berth.

What size tender can you carry? The optimum sized tender is 3-3.5m (10-11 foot). The davits are carbon fibre and will soak up a high load.

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.
