Description
The HH44 is a disruptive new market entrant designed for those seeking the perfect balance of style, performance, safety and innovation. The electrified and carbon reinforced HH44 is a game changing, eco-friendly cruising yacht, poised to win the hearts and minds of early tech adopters, world cruisers and serious sailors alike.The HH44-OC is a fast, comfortable, family friendly cruiser that skews toward ease of operation for bluewater cruising. It shares the same hull molds and interior as the sportier HH44-SC and includes mini-keels standard. The HH44 was conceived from the ground up to work with a parallel diesel/electric hybrid, an industry leading 4.2kW solar array on the cabin top and hydro-regeneration while sailing.
Our EcoDrive provides all the benefits of an electric boat: silent fume free motoring, instant torque for maneuvering, and hydro-regeneration while sailing; while also providing the reliability of trusty diesel engines as a back up.
For the technology shy, traditional standalone diesel engines with shaft drives are also offered. Folding transoms enhance safety at sea, and open while at anchor to increase living space and provide an easy connection with the water. Helms rotate in and out for protection, visibility, and an enhanced sailing experience. Safety being paramount, uncluttered side decks and folding transoms provide a completely enclosed cockpit making the boat more child and pet friendly. All deck hatches are mounted flush, lines and linedrivers are cleverly housed under deck. A continuous, unbroken toe rail runs the length of the hull deck with all joints finished and hidden. The angular cabin allows the two large, forward facing windows to open fully from inside the generously sized (187 sq ft or 17.4m2) salon. Comfort underfoot has been enhanced with non-skid EVA foam decking standard. An optional self-tacking Staysail (Jib) and asymmetrical foresail (J1, Reacher, Gennaker) sit on a custom engineered longeron. Large, double hinged sail lockers span the width of the hull to allow easy access to sail storage and toys. Steer the boat from the outboard position with the wind in your hair with increased visibility of your sail plan. A fold down helm seat stows out of the way for everyday living and easily deploys when needed. Rotate the helms inboard and steer from the protection of the three-seat sofa on the aft beam.
