Hunter 44

Hunter 44 refers primarily to a specific model of sailboat manufactured by Hunter Marine (later known as Marlow-Hunter). The Hunter 44 is a cruising sailboat known for its interior volume and relatively shallow draft, making it suitable for coastal cruising and some offshore passages.

The boat typically features a fiberglass hull and deck, with a fractional rig and a spade rudder. The interior layouts commonly include two or three cabins, one or two heads (bathrooms), a galley (kitchen), and a spacious salon. Different model years and optional packages may have varied interior configurations and equipment.

Key characteristics associated with the Hunter 44 often cited by sailors and reviewers include its ease of handling, comfortable accommodations, and value for money compared to other boats in its size range. However, as with any production sailboat, potential buyers should consider factors such as build quality variations across model years and the condition of specific used boats before purchasing.

Information regarding the Hunter 44's specifications, such as length overall, beam, displacement, and sail area, can be found in manufacturer's brochures and online resources dedicated to sailboat reviews and specifications.
