Seller's Description
Better Than New
You won’t find a better Brewer 44 anywhere. Amazing fully updated cruiser set up to go long distances. These boats are fast and stable and built like a tank. They’ll handle anything you throw at them. Andiamo in particular has a shallow 5 foot draft for the Bahamas and 60 foot mast for the ICW. She’s been as far north as northern Maine, as far south as the southern Bahamas and as far east as the eastern Caribbean. She recently had a major refit with a new engine, new Leisure furl boom, new main, new Genoa, new rigging, the latest Raymarine electronics, topsides recently professionally sprayed with Awlgrip, new non skid deck, bottom soda blasted, with new ceramic barrier coat and 10 year Coppercoat, exterior teak stripped and revarnished. The electric winch makes raising and lowering her main and Genoa a breeze. Great for single or double handed sailing. Her owners have spared no expense on her. Andiamo is in amazing, better than new, condition, and is ready to go anywhere.
Equipment: Life raft, new Beta Marine 60 engine professionally installed, new sails, solar panel, davits, new interior upholstery, corian galley counter top, latest electronics including AIS and radar, new watermaker, diesel heater, NEMA 2000 data network, Tides dripless shaft seal, upgraded Frigoboat refrigeration, 2 electric freshwater heads. Stainless ports and bow sprit. New full enclosure. MaxProp 3 blade folding propeller. Recently upgraded standing and running rigging. 50 pound Spade anchor 220 feet high-test chain. holds 200 gallons fresh water, 140 gallons diesel. Over $100,000 in upgrades over last five years.

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
8.3 kn
Classic: 7.93 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
16.2
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
41.4
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
301.8
300-400: heavy
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
36.9
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
1.8
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
Notes
The BREWER 44 is a stretched version of the BREWER 12.8 with a reverse transom and a slightly different keel/CB and sailplan.
