Sailing the HH44 catamaran - the freshest new fast cruising multihull

What an ugly way to waste €1.5m!! In a world over endowed with beautiful boats why would anybody buy this ugly dump truck?

Thanks Toby & YW!

Nice design, nice interior, nice features, but I wouldn't like to spend a couple weeks on it crossing an ocean. Heavier displacements are more my taste, this one would make me sick all the way.

will it float upside down?

Can’t help but notice how close those pillars are to the winches, does not look like a great design choice. Is it just me?

Catamarans just look so damn ugly. Two hulls with a big house plonked on

Such a leap forward in design, functionality and livability. I LOVE this boat and I really appreciate this review because we are in the market and find this "the boat to beat." Thanks for the review.

Over price

Great tour Toby! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Very sexy boat, but that shitty folding helm seat is a deal breaker

Much to like. Thanks Toby and HH.

The naval architecture by M&M seems very solid.

Should have given the Outremer 52 a go. That would say lots about the real performance of the 44 and the 52.

Amazing boat. Especially love the flexibility from the hybrid diesel/electric setup, and prop recharge under wind power.

Would be nice if you can show the VPP listed polars and compare it to actual speeds, all the videos I have seen, the boat doesn't sail anywhere near the listed speeds. Also I don't see being able to race this as the helm and trimmer are in each others way, can you even manually grind the winches as they are in such an awkward position

I say thanks for the review, you need to review what the industry makes and you do a great job of that. If people think these boats are too expensive, don't buy them.

To be honest, at 110 and 15 knots, 8 to 10 is not that fast?? No dinghy on the back and about as light as she will ever be.....

Fantastic, thanks for sharing.

Is it noisy inside? Do you think all carbon boats are more noisy than fiberglass ones?
Thank you.

Awesome cat! I like what HH are doing

Nice review ! Sleek & beautiful performance catamaran but i do not think she is faster, more confortable and luxurious or even offers more space than an outremer 52 ? Same price though!

VERY interesting boat! I've been wanting to see if all they promised since the project began turned into reality and it seems so. Hope you can show more soon. Thanks!

Awesome boat from every perspective.

Pretty sure those boarding gates open inwards, and I'm not convinced by the position of the winches which will drop the tails all over the instruments and switches. It's a pretty stark interior, too I guess you can option different finishes to an extent. But wow, the performance. It seems monohull and multihull are converging, the former with space, the latter with performance. Reckon the cruising version is the one to get to keep the price sensible, but with the foils.

Gorgeous baby looking wild and fast.

Not a lot of comfort for 1.5M. A nice toy for rich millennials.

1.55m USD without VAT for a 44 footer is just pointless. What about testing boats that not only the superrich could afford? Since Covid boat builders just got insane.

The idea of using the propellers as a hydrovane needs to be more common. It's basically free power under sail unless you're a racer with a folding prop.

If it were a monohull, you’d have to wear a harness in case you get pitched overboard. Like that the sounds were included.

I have no cat experience (except dinghys : Dart & Tornado) & I get the selling points, shallow draft, big deck level living, power and performance, but crucialy i will never have £1m + to spend on a complicated depreciating asset of any kind so i am not the makers target market. But I would relish a chance to have some experience on one & see how this type of design behaves on a long upwind leg. Probably better than lots of us might immagine i think…..?

Is there an old man filter on?😅

Wow man. I didn't hear any squeaks.

Nowt wrong with a quickie Tobes, as my missus loves to say!
Can`t wait for your full tour though mate !
Thanks for your thoughts on this little taster, great to see how the performance cat market has changed over the last five years with re-gen, hybrid systems. Builders like HH, Kinetic and of course Balance setting the bar for others to follow!

I could never get an answer for this. I even emailed them. Would it be possible to beach this boat (either version dagerboard or keel)? Is there an option to add like mini skeg to add the ability to beach it?

Not a fan of cats to be honest. I perfer trimarans, then monohulls, and lastly cats. Nice performance though.

Is it full carbon or carbon reinforced glass?
non the less extremely well thought out and Fast!

What's the price?

Wow! I’ve been a sailor since the late 70’s and have lived aboard both multihulls and a monohull. Watching this video, I see a 44’ Catamaran in sea trials and just watching the ‘hobby horsing’ I’m feeling seasick, and concerned for the Wynn’s decision to purchase the same HH model. I certainly hope they don’t regret their decision!!! It doesn’t seem to have enough waterline length to move forward with solid stability in choppy seas. A recipe for disaster. IMO. What does everyone else think?
