1985 Cartwright 44

This 1985 Cartwright 44 is a fiberglass sailing yacht built to designer Jerry Cartwright's philosophy of strength and seaworthiness combined with practical performance and comfort. The hull measures 44 feet in length with a 12.33-foot beam. The boat features a flat deck, raised cabin section, and deep cockpit designed for safety and secure handling. She carries a single Bukh diesel engine rated at 36 hp, which was recently serviced and runs well.

The yacht is set up for sailing with either minimal crew or two people easily managing her. She accommodates 4 to 6 people comfortably with three cabins, one head, and a custom interior layout. Over her life, the boat received upgrades including a taller mast and deeper keel to enhance performance. The sail inventory is comprehensive and has been updated through the years.

The boat was maintained throughout her ownership by a sail maker, reflecting consistent care and attention. She established a racing and cruising reputation along Canada's east coast, originally sailed in Ontario before relocating eastward. Her design delivers the combination of structural integrity, seaworthiness, and living space intended by Cartwright for extended passages and cruising comfort.
