Solidly built in the Ta Chiao Bros. yard in Taiwan, the Tanton 44 (Hull #8) is known for its strength, craftsmanship, and offshore capability. New Sensation is no exception. Her anodized rig is generously stayed and currently on its second set of standing rigging. On deck, the substantial bulwarks and reinforced stanchion bases immediately convey security and seaworthiness.
Ventilation throughout the vessel is excellent, with thoughtful airflow engineered into lockers and enclosed spaces - one of many "hidden" features that define New Sensation as a true cruising boat. Additional hull insulation further enhances comfort in a wide range of climates.
Below decks, she showcases the hallmark joinery and abundant storage that Taiwan‑built boats are celebrated for. Drawers, cabinets, and intelligently designed lockers provide immediate access to an impressive amount of gear, making long‑term cruising not only possible but practical.
Rigged as a cutter, the powerful sailplan is divided into manageable sections. Combined with her modest beam, fin keel, and skeg‑hung rudder, the Tanton 44 stands among the original performance cruisers. With a designed displacement of approximately 26,000 lbs and a long 37.6' waterline, she delivers a lively, confident sailing experience that sets her apart from traditional full‑keel designs.
