Solarium 44 Fantail Yacht Duchess

A 44 ft design from Jay Benford's catalog, drawn for cold moulded construction. One of the small ships, the power range that runs from harbour launches up to freighter yachts.

Benford publishes a displacement of 20,950 lb in coastal cruising trim, which is tanks full with the crew and their stores aboard rather than a shipping weight. Plans are sold to owner-builders, and study plans are sold separately for anyone wanting to look before committing.
