1977 Rorqual NS 44 Ketch

The Rorqual NS 44 Ketch is a fiberglass sailing yacht built in 1977 by Nautic Saintonge in Les Sables d'Olonnes. Designed by naval architect Auzépy Brenner, this 44-foot ketch was conceived as an ocean cruiser for experienced sailors tackling long passages, including transatlantic voyages. The design emphasizes seaworthiness with balanced lines and a low center of hull, contributing to solid performance and stability at sea.

The yacht measures 43.8 feet in length with a beam of 13.39 feet. Accommodation includes two cabins. Power comes from a single 50 hp Volvo Penta diesel engine.

The current owner has prepared the yacht for active sailing, bringing her into ready condition for her next passage.
