The CC44 “Fast Cruiser” design is intended to be a small boat on a long waterline. Although wing pods are optional, the original configuration was a slender hull with all accommodations within. The lack of complex shapes does streamline the construction using Constant Camber panels, which are used not only for hulls, but wing fairings also. A generous sail plan gives this boat excellent windward ability for making fast passages. This boat can easily carry extra gear and supplies for extended cruises. The CC44M is a mid-cockpit cruiser is much like the CC40M with additional length and beam. The extra length will add a little speed and some extra payload.
