What distinguishes the model
- The foam core in the hull, deck, roof and bimini is solidly built, complemented by solid-laminate bilges and a collision bulkhead for passages with floating debris.
- Under the same conditions the 44 Open sails better than larger charter catamarans in every point of sail and also handles 1,5 m swell without slamming.
- The galley up with a large pantry and a full navigation table offers high liveability, and because no charter fleet exists, hardly any ex-charter boats are on the market.
