Do a simple Google Search for “Cherubini 44 For Sale” & see what you find on the first page of search results! You will discover the sister-ships for sale worldwide. If you do not include search results that show this particular vessel, you will see that the cheapest sister-ship available for sale anywhere in the world is listed for $169,000. This classic global cruiser is priced at exactly 50% of that cheapest sister-ship The other Cherubini 44 sister-ships are all priced between $218,625 and $360,000. So you can see even the one priced at $169,000 might almost be considered a “half priced yacht” if we didn’t have this one for sale on a fire sale discount basis. Why the heck are Cherubini 44 vessels such sought after classic yachts that command such high prices??? Well, lets get into the details of that a little deeper into the story, but in a couple of sentences we can answer that question with two rhetorical questions: “How Much Is Your Life Worth?” and the far less frightening question, “How much is sea comfort worth?” These vessels are some of the most well constructed, safest and most sea kindly global cruisers ever produced. The Cherubini 44 is the legendary global, TRULY BLUEWATER OR EVEN ANTARCTIC CAPABLE GLOBAL CRUISER not to be confused with the smaller budget conscious Hunter Cherubini’s which were produced in much larger numbers through Hunter Yachts. These 44s were the flagship global cruiser made at John Cherubini’s own boatyard which you can still visit today in Riverside NJ.
This 44 was undergoing a full refit until past owner had some health issues come up. Hard part is done, refit 70% complete. Needs wiring completed and cosmetic work.
Deal of a Lifetime- A true Cherubini 44 at pennies on the dollar. No reasonable offer refused. We may even offer seller financing to the right buyer. Contact us today to arrange to have a phone call about this amazing diamond in the rough.

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
10.1 kn
Classic: 8.47 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
-
19.7
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
-
42.9
>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
-
195.4
100-200: light
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
-
38.1
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
-
1.6
<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 CHERUBINI 44 was still being offered in 2008.
Available with cutter, staysail ketch or schooner rig.
Shoal draft version: 4.30’/1.31m
