Description:

The J-44 is the perfect Sailboat.. Live-aboard comfort, easily managed by two, with offshore durability and speed to win Fastnet and Sydney-Hobart. That is the way the J-boat website starts with these boats. Bob Perry has said the J-44 is the perfect combination of speed, comfort and ease of handling. With all this going for them a look at En Fuego III is a must. The current owner has gone through her from stem to stern, look at the extensive list of updated equipment including a bow thruster! One sail on a real boat like this and you will never go back! Introduction J/44 was inspired by an analysis of the 1988 Newport to Bermuda Race which determined that dual-purpose racer/cruisers between 41 and 45 feet were the most popular offshore type and size. Since introduction, J/44 has become the most successful large, offshore American yacht design ever, with a total of 67boats launched. Owners in 14 countries have amassed an enviable record of ocean passages, regatta wins and logged numerous cruising adventures. They get together for owner-steered, one design events on both coasts in the and on the Great Lakes. The J/44 Class Association is an active group of dedicated and outstanding sailors who add greatly to the satisfaction of sailing the perfect boat. One example of this innovation is shown in the image above. Each J/44 races with sails that are owned by the class association. These are rotated from boat to boat throughout each designated class event insuring fair one-design racing. This allows owners added value through volume bidding from sailmakers, while at the same time keeping the lid on replacement costs and/or 'sky-is-the-limit' budgets. Most owners have a set of PHRF sails that are used for non-class regattas. Among her many honors and accolades, the J/44 is the first class to be given a separate start at the Newport-Bermuda Race for the past several races. J/44 class racing today is competitive Corinthian yacht racing at its best with first class social gatherings.
