Seller's Description
This is the classic CSY 44 Pilot House Ketch. prized for its solid construction, spacious interior, relatively shallow shoal draft, and smooth easy sailing you only get with a ketch, this yacht is ideal for extended cruising to the islands.
According to SailBoatData this yacht has a Comfort Ratio of 48.30!. In an April 2019 survey conducted by Cruising World, the CSY 44 was voted as #11 of the top 40 sailboats ever made.
The main sail has a traveler. There is a Harkin rolling furler for the jib. A large solar panel array is included. A water maker is also included.
Access below is through two hatches, one leads into the aft berth and the other into the main cabin.
The Pilot House model has an aft cockpit and an interior steering station for staying dry while island hopping. This two-cabin CSY 44 features wheel steering, self-tailing jib winches, binnacle compass, electric windlass with delta anchor and rode, pressurized water, three burner stove with oven, Garmin radar, B&G chart plotter, two marine heads with showers, water heater, two air conditioners, and an inverter.
The aft cabin is very large, with its own head. The bow cabin will accommodate two and has easy access to the forward head. The main salon is huge with two bench seats which can also serve as berths, the steering station, and a spacious galley area.

8.0 kn
Classic: 8.08 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
-
13.3
<16: under powered
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
-
34.2
<40: less stiff, less 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
-
354.1
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
-
48.0
40-50: heavy bluewater 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
There were three version of the CSY 44: PILOT HOUSE, MID COCKPIT, and WALK THROUGH.
The PILOT HOUSE version, shown here, has an aft cockpit and a second steering station. Most of these were delivered with a ketch rig.
The CSY 44 was also sold under a number of other names including the CYGNET 44 and later, the ANTIQUA 44.
