About the ATLANTIC 44
Similar to SUN MAGIC 44, SUN ODYSSEY 44 by Jeanneau. Built under license in Greece.
The Atlantic 44 is a robust cruising sloop designed by Daniel Andrieu and built by Anassis in Greece, with production records indicating a single build year of 1990. As a heavy-displacement vessel with a displacement of 22050.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 27.31, it is engineered for stability and seakeeping rather than high-speed planing.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for serious offshore cruisers and bluewater adventurers who prioritize safety, comfort, and heavy-weather performance over rapid coastal passage times. Its substantial ballast of 8154.1 lb and low capsize ratio of 2.0 make it ideal for those seeking a secure, motion-controlled passage in challenging conditions.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 22050.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 2.0, and a fin keel configuration, the Atlantic 44 demonstrates strong inherent stability and resistance to capsizing, making it highly capable for extended offshore passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Hallberg-Rassy 44 and the Swan 44, which share similar heavy-displacement characteristics and offshore pedigree from the late 1980s and early 1990s. These boats are comparable due to their shared design philosophy of prioritizing structural integrity and seakeeping over light-air performance.
