Power and Motor Yacht Comment

The 44 replaces the Swift Trawler 42 and is a vast improvement over it. The hull is unchanged, which is a good thing since it’s a fine design. To be clear, this is no trawler in the classic sense. Her chines are hard, and she planes effortlessly and without excessive bow rise. However, like a displacement vessel, she’s quite stable—even beam-to in a moderate sea—and her keel provides excellent tracking and some grounding protection. Because the keel’s not particularly deep, it doesn’t produce that disconcerting outboard heel in turns, and it’s cut away well forward of the props so it doesn’t impair maneuverability. Indeed the 44 is surprisingly responsive to the helm, despite hydraulic steering that demands a considerable amount of muscle to effect the three-boat-length turns that this vessel is capable of.

Power and Motor Yacht Overview

Adding to this boat’s cruisability are two exterior features. One is an exceptionally roomy bridge deck with seating for eight and room enough aft to easily accommodate an eight-foot tender. A standard mast and electric winch should make launching and retrieval a one-person operation. The other feature is a 38-inch-deep swim platform with a beefy ladder that looks like it belongs on a much larger boat. (In fact it’s the same as Beneteau uses on the Swift Trawler 52.) When deployed, its side rails extend up from the deck some 18 inches—like those on a typical swimming pool ladder—making it much easier to clear that last step and gain the platform without resorting to crawling on your arms and elbows—especially if you’re wearing a scuba tank. A slightly-to-starboard, inward-opening transom door makes it easy to access the seven-foot-long, fully covered cockpit from the platform.
