Built in Taiwan by Ta Chiao Bros., the Tanton 44 is a fiberglass sailing yacht designed for offshore cruising and long-distance passage work. Hull #8 demonstrates the solid construction and refined engineering the builder is known for. The anodized rig is generously stayed with new standing rigging installed, and the deck features substantial bulwarks and reinforced stanchion bases that convey security underway.
The boat is rigged as a cutter with a powerful, manageable sailplan. Her fin keel and skeg-hung rudder, combined with a designed displacement of approximately 26,000 pounds and a waterline length of 37.6 feet, deliver responsive sailing performance. The modest beam of just over 13 feet supports a well-balanced hull.
Below decks, the layout provides two cabins and one head, with joinery and storage that reflect the quality of Taiwan-built yachts. The interior is thoughtfully ventilated with engineered airflow throughout lockers and enclosed spaces, and hull insulation is included. Extensive cabinetry, drawers, and intelligent locker design create abundant stowage for extended cruising. The diesel Beta Marine engine produces 50 horsepower and powers the yacht at modest speeds when under auxiliary power.
