44 feet
Diesel
Fiberglass/Reinforced
Designed by the legendary German Frers, this model is frequently referred to as the "Argentine Swan" due to its striking resemblance in build quality, finish, and performance to the Nautor's Swan line, many of which were also penned by Frers. Introduced in the late 1970s, the F&C 44 was built as a high-end cruiser-racer that prioritized robust scantlings and elegant lines over the mass-production trends of the time.
The interior of the F&C 44 is a masterclass in traditional woodworking, finished in rich South American hardwoods like lapacho or high-grade teak
