MAIN DESCRIPTION Prime Time is a Nauticat 44 (Hull no. 111). The current owner bought her as a retirement project in 2003. She was stored on the hard at Deltaville Yachting Center where she received a very extensive renovation including re-powering with a commercial duty Volvo Penta diesel. She was re-launched in 2011 and the owners started enjoying the fruits of their labor.
Nauticat is synonymous with famous seaworthiness, toughness, durable designs, easy handling, and comfortable sailing, an unbeatable combination of performance both under sail and power, highly admired quality of build and attention to details, a pilothouse offering a 360 degree view and maneuverability from inside. A Nauticat is laminated by hand using single-skin lamination with unidirectional fibers to secure a strong lamination of the deck and hull. The internal bulkheads make the construction strong by connecting the deck, hull, and interior into one unit. The worldwide reputation of Nauticat Yachts is well know and the personality of these craft with their distinctive lines are admired by many, but owned by few! The Nauticat 44 is a kind and forgiving yacht at sea and as such is one of the worlds most highly regarded blue water yachts.
Prime Time is a particularly fine example of this famous cruiser and is ready for extensive voyaging with comfort and safety. She is slightly overpowered in terms of engine output in order to give her an excellent motoring capability when needed. She has accommodations to sleep up to 8 persons including a private v-berth, owner’s aft stateroom, convertible dinette, and settees. There are two enclosed heads with showers and a nicely equipped galley to complete this roomy live aboard.

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)
Availble with ketch, cutter or schooner rig.
