The HH 44 is a modern performance cruiser designed by James Hakes and built by Hudson Yacht Group, with production starting in 2021. As a relatively new model with an unknown total build count, it represents the latest iteration of Hakes' design philosophy, combining high-performance sailing with substantial cruising amenities.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for experienced sailors seeking a high-performance coastal cruiser that can handle offshore passages, particularly those who value a fractional sloop rig and are willing to manage a deep draft.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 20701.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 3.42, the HH 44 demonstrates solid offshore stability, though its max draft of 9.84 ft limits access to shallow anchorages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Nauticat 44 and the Hallberg-Rassy 442, as they share similar displacement ranges and dual-purpose cruising/performance roles, though the HH 44 distinguishes itself with a more modern fractional rig and wider beam.
