The largest model of one of the world's finest cruising boats, "Ocean Child" is an excellent choice for bluewater cruising. These boats rarely come to market. Her construction is to ABS offshore standards. She is well balanced and a pleasure to sail, plus fully equipped and well maintained.
Designed by Bill Crealock, the Pacific Seacraft 44 is built with an emphasis on cruising safely and in comfort. Easily handled under power or sail, the 44 is a fast cruising yacht capable of making 175+ NM/day under sail in good conditions. "The Evolution of the Breed" as Mr. Crealock puts it, shows on closer examination some significant design modifications which give the 44 uncommon balance, with a reassuring motion - even in heavy sea conditions. The lines on the 44 are more powerful than on earlier designs. There is slightly less overhang and a longer waterline. Built with the now-famous Crealock canoe stern, admired by many for its aesthetic appeal, the Pacific Seacraft 44 is also an improvement over other double-enders and flat stern yachts: offering necessary reserve buoyancy without presenting too much surface to following seas. Many sailors consider that the stern has more effect on the motion of a yacht than does the bow, and in breaking following seas the PS-44's canoe stern 'will perform like a bow'.
On a passage going forward in rough weather you will appreciate the 6 inch high bulwarks that totally enclose the deck, and the 30 inch high stainless steel rails and sturdy double lifelines.
No other production sailing yacht comes close to the overall quality of construction and quality of the equipment of the Pacific Seacraft 44. Solid cast and reinforced hatches, solid bronze all opening ports, substantial bronze winches and bronze seacocks that are thru-bolted to the hull.
"Ocean Child" is a vessel that has been cruised and well maintained by a knowledgeable and caring owner. She also reflects less wear than many other vessels of her pedigree, as she has only been used six months of the year for the twelve years they have owned her.
