The Mason 44 is a 13.4-meter masthead ketch, designed by Al Mason, Jeff Leishman, and Alvin Mason, and built by Ta Shing Yacht Building in Taiwan from 1985 to the present. It is an updated version of the Mason 43, available with either a cutter or ketch rig, and features a long keel and solid fiberglass hull.4:20 The Mason 44 has a displacement of 12,428 kg and a draft of 1.9 meters.5:12 Design improvements over the Mason 43 include a relocated aft companionway, lowered cockpit seating, and increased ballast.7:27 Aboard *Lady K Sailing*, the Mason 44 is noted for its high-quality joinery and sea-kindly motion in heavy weather, though its large mainsail makes it tender in light air and requires early reefing.9:58 Common owner-reported issues include leaky teak hatches, marginal icebox insulation, and difficult engine access for its Perkins 4108 or Yanmar powerplants.8:02 The boat's narrow beam and low ballast-to-weight ratio cause it to heel quickly before stiffening up.6:29 Owners consider the Mason 44 a capable ocean crosser and a "forever boat," despite the maintenance demands of older, complex systems.11:53
