Having built and sailed an Alerion 33 for years-which I loved - I was ready to ‘take it up a notch’. I was looking for more water line length and more sailing performance and was intrigued by the approach Leonardo Yachts takes with sail controls on the Eagle 44 with a captive reel winch under the deck for the mainsheet and the addition of a separate powered winch forward in the cockpit primarily for the main halyard. But the look of this boat is something else! She is incredibility beautiful and so well built. She boasts a truly comfortable cockpit for guests and is a sheer joy to sail- which I do not hesitate to do singlehanded. She has exceeded my expectations in every way and is only for sale to make room in life for a new Oyster and the upcoming Oyster World Rally.
The T-shaped cockpit is one of the focal points of this design. Well laid out for sail handling and docking from the helm, with gobs of space forward for lounging. Centered around a solid mahogany double-leaf table with refrigeration and a stainless sink both concealed within. A large drawer for essentials is accessed on the aft end of the table, with custom stainless controls for lighting just above and right where you want them. Settees are wide and long enough for stretching out and seat backs are angled just right and framed by an exquisite mahogany varnished coaming. Large cockpit sail lockers provide storage aplenty.
The large aft deck on the boat is another draw; an exciting place to perch when sailing and comfy spot to lounge when on the hook.
Well laid out and with a functional head, skylight and large opening hatch for light and ventilation, multiple settees and a generous double berth. Optional extra refrigeration tucked beneath the companionway step is a nice touch. Plenty of room for an overnight and all the ephemera that accompanies a gaggle of family and friends. The companionway hatch lifts up on a gas strut which makes getting in and out of the interior a cinch.
Easily accessible Volvo common rail electronic diesel engine with saildrive and a nifty waterjet powered bow thruster that is both powerful and incredibly quiet!
