Why this boat
Between ambitious project and genuine sporting conviction.
The First 44 is not simply a larger First 36. It's the point where range, space and ownership logic become the core decision.
Owner perspective
A yacht for serious owners, not just for speed. The First 44 is a project with conviction.
Range
The volume and capacity for longer horizons. 430 L water, 270 L diesel — true autonomy.
Presence
It looks fast, modern and confident, yet remains coherent as a whole project — not reduced to self-presentation.

More volume. More presence under sail.
