It features a fin keel with a rudder on a skeg, measures 13.5 meters LOA, has a 3.9-meter beam, a 1.9-meter draft, and displaces 12,700 kg.1:54 Mike Lewis of Pacific Far East Industries commissioned the design, and George Olivet supervised all construction, ensuring consistent build quality despite changes in parent company ownership. A Lafitte 44 named *Oceanbound* disappeared in April 2023 during a passage from Mazatlan, Mexico, to San Diego, California, with its three-person crew.7:01 The vessel lacked trackable satellite communication or an EPIRB, complicating search efforts by the U.S. Coast Guard and Mexican Navy after weather deteriorated with 30-knot winds and 20-foot swells.5:28
