1988 Reliance 44

This 1988 Reliance 44 is a fiberglass cruising sailboat with a modified full keel and cutaway forefoot, designed for offshore work. The hull form delivers directional stability and responsive handling. Powered by a single 45-horsepower Perkins diesel engine, she maintains a cruising speed of 6 knots.

The boat carries roller furling head and cutter sails with in-boom roller furling on the mainsail. She is rigged and set up for extended cruising, with substantial storage throughout. The cabin layout provides comfortable accommodation for offshore passage-making.

Recent upgrades span 2021 through 2025 and include a Rocna anchor, Monitor windvane, self-righting life raft (re-certified in 2024), watermaker, solar panels, drogue, dinghy with outboard motor, and new chain plates fitted in 2025. The bottom was last painted in 2022. A full cover protects the deck and cabin. The boat is comprehensively equipped for cruising and ready to depart for extended voyages.
