Oceanis 44CC Sea-Keeping

[destiny]

Any of you learned gents or ladies have anything to report on the sea-keeping abilities of an Oceanis 44CC? Any replies/information or pointers to yacht tests would be much appreciated.

This has been tested. Do a search for a report on PBO or YM back issues. There's a charge of course...about £3.50 I think, but I think you'll find it worth it.
Good luck

I have a 44 CC have sailed Turkey,Greek Isles,Croatia aand last year to Spain. Have sailed in winds to F 9 and found boat to be dry and safe. Likes to sailoff tjhe wind with genoa only in strong conditions and upwind reef the main first and more than genoa or use staysail. Go for it - also very comfortable boat in harbour.check out Beneteau Owners website.
