About the Solaris 44

“This yacht has set a new market standard; she is the only 13.5 mts, designed and built for fast cruising with a reduced crew, thanks to all lines being lead to just two winches within easy reach of the helmsman. The boat can be used for cruising and racing opting for the mainsail traveller totally recessed and winches on the coaming to deploy the asymmetrical spi. The deck layout comprises a roomy sail locker, large cockpit lockers and an independent storage space for the liferaft. Her beam of 4.18 mts. allows for the possibility of a large stern cabin, with wide twin beds. The hull with its widest beam moved aft and twin rudder blades ensures maximum efficiency at any angle of heel.” Solarisyachts.com

Her wedge-shaped hull with a chine that softens and rises on the rear third are now the new standards for Solaris yachts. The transom is as wide as the main beam, giving the Solaris 44 a sporty Volvo-Ocean-Race look, while also providing more stability and space inside. The quality of construction and finishing is the trademark of the Solaris shipyard. The glass/ airex/epoxy foam sandwich is implemented under infusion. The main structural bulkhead is composite and all bulkheads are laminated to the hull. The structural reinforcements are made of carbon.

The Boater’s notes

Launched in Hong Kong in April 2022, this less than 18 months old luxury racer cruiser is good as new.  Kept under an integral cover when not sailing: gelcoat and teak decks in impeccable condition. Less than 200 hours on both engine and generator. Wide beam gives more stability and more inside space. Bigger engine option for fast cruising. 3di North Sails the best sails money can buy for high performance sailing. An opportunity to join a thriving Hong Kong sailing community under the Solaris brand.
