Eagle 44

The Eagle 44 is a 13.3-meter fractional sloop designed by Dykstra Naval Architects and built by Leonardo Yachts since 2011. It features a fin with bulb and spade rudder hull, a 1.4-meter draft, and displaces 5074 kg. A 2015 Eagle 44 named *Halcyon* was seen with an Endeavour blue hull, reflecting the J-class yacht *Endeavour*, which Dykstra also designed.0:17 The cockpit accommodates six to eight people around a table that integrates a sink and a fridge.2:00 Push-button powered winches control the jib and mainsail, and a central cockpit winch manages sail hoisting, reefing, and jackstays.1:05 The rig uses 3Di sails, and a hydraulic panel adjusts the backstay.1:31 Below deck, the cabin provides sitting headroom, a large berth, a small head, and skylights, but no cooking facilities.2:18 The Eagle 44 is part of a range that includes the Eagle 38, 46, and 54, and is characterized by its well-mannered sailing, noticeable heel in light air, and clean wave-cutting ability due to its classic hull lines.0:28
