Here is an excellent example of the popular cruiser / racer from Beneteau Yachts. Designed by Farr and Associates this Beneteau First 44.7 was built in 2006 and has a extremely comfortable 3 cabin, 2 head layout with all the custom “go-fast” to keep this boat competitive on the race course for years to come.
Owned by an experienced yachtsman, the boat features upgraded upholstery as well as the replacement of all electronics in 2016. The 3 cabin layout offers a double berth forward stateroom with an adjoining head and shower just forward. The port and starboard aft cabins offer double berths and share an aft head that is complete with shower.
This Beneteau 44.7 is equipped with the deep racing keel as well as an upgraded aluminum Sparcraft mast. An upgraded Harken roller furling headstay, lazy-jacks on the main and Harken 2-speed 53 and 44 self-tailing winches make this an easy boat to cruise by a couple or the whole family.
For the racer, this boat features adjustable genoa leads, solid boom vang, a newly replace gooseneck and a custom carbon removable bow sprint for flying asymmetrical spinnakers and cruising gennakers. The upper and lower rudder bearings were replaced and a new B&G GPS added in 2016. The B&G system is set up for Apple integration with WiFi capabilities.

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.
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
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.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Deep Draft version: 8.5’/2.59m.
Offered with 3 Rig options:
STD: 2 spreader aluminum rig and wire rigging;
RACE 1: 3 spreader tapered rig with Dyform rigging;
RACE 2: 3 spreader carbon rig with rod rigging
