Looking for an unsinkable bluewater capable center cockpit, cutter with retractable keel (43 draft with centerboard up and 76 with it down), 6.2ft headroom and hard top cockpit enclosure? Look no further.
Wellington Yachts, designed and built by Bill Wellington in Jacksonville, FL, are known for their robust construction. The hull of these boats are lined with foam that provides full flotation buoyancy and makes this a buoyant, dry, well insulated and quiet yacht. These boats are very capable offshore sailors and offer spacious living quarters.
This second owner Wellington 44 has been in the same family for over thirty years. The boat was mainly sailed locally and to the Bahamas and has low hours on the repowered Yanmar engine (estimated to be under 1000 hours). Her systems are aged but shes a well built boat and offers a blank slate for someone looking for an affordable 44 ft center cockpit that they can customize to their needs.
Offered by Engel & Vlkers Yachting. For full specs, pls get in touch.

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)
Also available as a ketch.
All Wellingtons were built on a semi-custom basis.
