This version of the 44 is the more cruising orientated version with an edge that makes her a fast boat to sail but with additional comforts to make extended cruising even more enjoyable. To assist with short handed sailing the winches and control lines are all led close to the helm positions.NAVIGATIONPort and starboard helm stations:Steering console1 12’’ GPS Map 1223 multi-function touchscreen (GPS, Chart plotter, Card reader - Bluechart G3cartography included)Wind Sensor gWind Race - pole 1m / 3’3’’:Windvane/ Anemometer Airmar DST810 Sensor (Log, Speedometer, Temperature) PC interface (GND10) Fixed 315i VHF at chart table, without AIS receiver function Windex Windvane Protective covers for helm & consoles (Charcoal Grey) Reactor 40 Pilot with GHC 50 control on port console (LS40 hydraulic arm) Wireless autopilot remote controlGARMIN Quatix 7 connected watchGROUND TACKLE: ANCHORING PACK20kg Delta anchor.Anchor chain - 32m x 10mm.Anchor warp - 45m x 18mm.MOORING PACK Delta 20 kg/44 lbs anchor (galvanized steel)Chain (Diameter: 10mm / 3/8’’ - Length: 32m / 105')Line (Diameter: 18mm / 11/16’’ - Length: 45m / 147’)6 x Fenders:4 x XL (Diameter: 300mm / 12’’ - Length: 880mm / 2’11’’)2 x L (Diameter: 250mm / 10’’ - Length: 700mm / 2’4’’)4 x Moorings lines (Diameter: 18mm / 11/16’’ - Length: 15m / 49’3’’)GENERAL EQUIPMENTFirst 44 Luxe Trim Level 2025.Offshore Pack (GARMIN).Windlass control in cockpit with chain counter.HiFi: Fusion RA210 + 2 Interior loudspeakers & 2 Waterproof exterior speakers.Induction charging station for smartphones at the chart table.Cabins: Mosquito nets for opening portholes.LED indirect lighting.Navicolor 3.5'' screen, Battery charge display.IBS sensor.2 Additional ancillary AGM batteries 12V 100 A.1 Solid wood cockpit table on stainless steel pedestal.2 extension leaves.1 opened central storage.Protective cover (Cadet Grey).Electrical engine control on the starboard console.LED spreader lighting.4 x fenders 300mm x 880mm.2 x fenders 250mm x 700mm.4 x mooring lines - 15m x 18mm.SAFETY ON DECKStainless steel open pulpit.Stainless steel aft pulpits with integrated fairlead.Stainless steel aft central pulpit (Height: 960mm / 3’2’’).Stainless steel handrails on coachroof.Lifebuoy support bracket on aft pulpit.Wooden flagstaff (1m / 3’3’’) with integrated support on pushpit.Dual stainless steel lifelines and stainless steel stanchions (Height: 620mm / 2’).Side boarding gate on.YANMAR 4JH 57HP INBOARD DIESEL ENGINEENGINEEngine Yanmar Diesel: 57 HP, Sail Drive, Common Rail (standard).Engine control at the starboard helm station - Control panel.Engine compartment.Soundproofing foam.Ventilation: 2 air intakes and 1 forced air outlets.Alternator (12V / 125Ah).Rotomoulded diesel tank 200 L / 53 US Gal (under port aft berth) - Electronic gauge - Low level alarm - 1 Deck filler.Filters: Seawater - Diesel - Water separator.Foldable three-blade propeller.Engine access through companionway (opening with 2 gas struts).Engine access through aft cabins.PLUMBINGRotomoulded freshwater tank 330 L / 87 US Gal, under berth in forward cabin - 1 Deck filler.Pressurised electric water pump - Expansion tank - Inline filter.40 L / 11 US Gal Electric water heater (engine use).Rigid black water holding tank for each WC.Electrical shower drain pumps.Electric bilge pump.Manual bilge pump.GAS1 Box for 2 gas bottles in the anchor locker (Diameter: 0,39 x 0,39m / 1’3’’ x 1’3’’ - Height: 0,51m / 1’8’’).Regulator and safety tap.Gas leak detector.SMART BOARD"SEANAPPS" smart technology.For monitoring the boat's status and receiving alerts as well as maintenance advice via the associated mobile application.The type of information collected (GPS position, batteries, engine info, navigation data, etc.) varies according to the boat's configuration.ELECTRICITY12 V electrical panel (Breaker, Voltmeter, Water gauge, Fuel gauge, Battery warning, Fuel warning, Water warning) + Single USB port + Navicolor 2.4’’ screen.12V circuit.2 x AGM service batteries - 100Ah.1 x AGM engine battery - 50Ah.Battery cut-off switch in the aft starboard cabin (under bed).Battery charger (40Ah).Power distributor.5 x 230V Sockets- (1 in the forward cabin, 1 in the aft cabins, 1 in the saloon (Starboard), 1 at chart table, 1 in galley).6 x USB Sockets- (2 in the forward cabin, 1 in the aft cabins, 1 on the electrical panel, 1 at chart table).Shore power socket 230 V, in the port cockpit locker.LED lighting-Overhead lights.Reading lights.Indirect lighting.LED navigation lights-Masthead light.Steaming light.Anchor light on masthead.MISCELLANEOUS ITEMSSmoke detector.Cleaning kit: eco-friendly cleaning products kit.2024 BUILD TO A 2026 MODEL YEAR - BENETEAU FIRST 44Built by Beneteau Yachts in France, designed by Roberto Biscontini (Naval Architect) and Lorenzo ArgentoCategory A for 12 people.Photos on advert of a similar boat.
