About the EAGLE 44
Deep draft keel: 2m / 6.56 ft.
The Eagle 44 is a fractional sloop designed by Dykstra Naval Architects and built by Leonardo Yachts in the Netherlands, with production records indicating a build year of 2011. This lightweight, performance-oriented cruiser-racer features a displacement of 11188.0 lb and a beam of 9.06 ft, reflecting Dykstra's signature blend of speed and comfort.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for performance-minded coastal cruisers and weekend racers who prioritize sailing dynamics and interior volume over heavy bluewater displacement. Its fractional rig and moderate comfort ratio of 27.41 make it ideal for sailors seeking a responsive, easy-to-handle package in moderate conditions.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.62 and a relatively light displacement of 11188.0 lb, the Eagle 44 is designed for coastal and nearshore cruising rather than extreme offshore passages. Its fin keel and moderate draft of 4.43 ft favor accessibility and performance in sheltered waters over heavy-weather stability.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 44.7 and the J/125, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs, lightweight displacement profiles, and a focus on performance cruising. These models appeal to the same demographic seeking a balance between racing capability and liveaboard comfort in the mid-40-foot range.
