The Navy 44 (M&R) is an American sailboat that was designed by McCurdy & Rhodes for the US Navy for sail training at the United States Naval Academy and built in 1985.[1][2][3][4]

The design was originally built by the manufacturer as the Navy 44, but is now usually referred to as the Navy 44 (M&R) or Mark I to differentiate it from the unrelated 1963 Alfred E. Luders designed which it replaced and the David Perick design which superseded it.[1][2]

Production[]

The design was built by Tillotson Pearson in the United States, with 20 boats built, all of them in 1985.[1][2][5][6]

Design[]

The Navy 44 is a training keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 28,500 lb (12,927 kg).[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 7.25 ft (2.21 m) with the standard keel. It is fitted with a diesel engine for docking and maneuvering.[1][2]

The design has sleeping accommodation for seven people, with two single berths in the bow cabin, two straight settee berths and two pilot berths in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a single berth on the starboard side. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is "L"-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the port side. The head is located on the port side of the companionway.[1][2]

The design has a hull speed of 7.88 kn (14.59 km/h).[2]
