So what elements culminated in Cruising World naming the Nautitech 44 Boat of the Year in 2013?
Excellent vessel for coastal or regional cruising - the features of comfort and self sufficiency certainly apply here Fine layout for offshore work, with numerous touches that promote safe sailing, including the abundance of handrails above and below deck and good visibility Long range voyaging capability with a rig set up for transoceanic adventures, such as the powerful sail plan with square-topped main and full battens Extremely sound structurally, very good performer under power with a twin helm set-up
This is a French-built boat and I think the build quality may have surpassed the other boats in this group, which is saying something said Ed Sherman, Down below its a very quiet boat. We sailed it on a windy day with a lot going on, and yet down below there was no creaking, groaning or cracking noises whatsoever. Even under power we registered some of the lowest decibel readings for our entire fleet of boats. Cruising World, January 2013 Issue

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)
