1985 Nauticat 44

The Nauticat 44 Firefly is an ideal design for exploring the inside waters of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Inside and outside steering stations allow comfort and safety whether underway or at anchor. Considered a motor sailor, the powerful and easily managed ketch rig adds stability at sea while the economical 125HP Ford Lehman diesel (1600hrs) will get you there when the wind doesn't blow. The Nauticat 44 is a proven performer that continues to have a strong appeal amongst NW cruisers.
