About the LR44
The new 44 is built on a super-efficient displacement hull, developed with Powerplay’s 20 years of experience building power cats. The hull is optimised for minimal drag, with a reversed bow for buoyancy and extended waterline length forward, plus docking keels and a protected prop for beaching. Each boat is built to AMSA commercial survey standards to provide an additional layer of robustness and allow commercial operations if one chose to.
