About the Brewer 44 Sailboat

The Brewer 44 is a heavy-displacement offshore cutter designed by Ted Brewer as a stretched development of the Whitby 42, built by Fort Myers Yacht & Shipbuilding in Florida from 1983 to 1989 with approximately 60 hulls completed. She features a deep fin keel with skeg-hung rudder, a robust fiberglass hull, and a cutter rig that gives excellent offshore performance in a wide range of conditions. With a ballast-to-displacement ratio over 42%, the Brewer 44 is a very stiff, powerful boat well suited to extended bluewater passages. Her spacious interior, large tankage, and proven offshore pedigree make her a respected choice among serious ocean voyagers.
