44' CSY Center Cockpit 1979
We are pleased to offer this clean and ready-to-sail 44 CSY built for a private owner.
The CSY 44 was a ruggedly built mid-cockpit cutter. The hefty lay-up schedule, moderate sail area, and full sections made it as appealing to cruising traditionalists as it was to the charter fleet. Her bulletproof rub rail and a keel and ballast arrangement designed to handle a grounding piqued the interest of many cruisers.
