1984 Lafitte 44

Dana Point, California

$79,900

The rare LaFitte 44' was built to the highest of American and European standards winning Boat of the Year in 1980.  No expense was spared from the quality of construction to the fit and finish both inside and out. This is as solid as a Bob Perry design can get representing all of his world-renowned design features from stunningly good looks that are sure to be an eye-turner wherever she goes to ease of handling and great turns of speed in any wind condition. Robert Perry, once said: "I have been pursuing the "Ultimate Cruising Yacht" for some time... with the Lafitte 44, I am sure I have closed the gap significantly between my ideal and reality. "A stunningly beautiful offshore sailing cruiser. MOCAKYKI  has sailed around the world. You can cruise to Catalina, Baja, or around the world. She would be a wonderful live aboard as well. It's hard to imagine a better cared-for vessel. The pictures don't do her justice. MOCAKYKI is a must-see.

Galley

The well-laid-out U-shaped galley is large, bright, and airy. The chefs will find themselves equally at home either at sea or at the dock. There is a deep double stainless steel sink, saltwater pump, fresh hot and cold water, propane stove oven, and microwave. Both the freezer and refrigerator are very well insulated featuring custom insulation of over 5" thick!. You will find an abundance of storage usually reserved for much larger yachts ensuring that the crew will never go hungry!

Accommodations

This cruising layout allows for sea berths on either tack. Access below is through either of two companionway hatches. The aft companionway leads directly from the cockpit to the owner's stateroom. The forward companionway goes into the midships section with galley to port and nav station to starboard. Forward of this, an L-shaped dinette (that converts to a double berth) is found to port and a straight settee is to starboard. Continuing forward, a full head compartment is to port, a pair of hanging lockers are opposite and then you have a good sized V-berth with insert. The master stateroom is aft and has a double berth (almost a Queen) to port and a single berth to starboard. A head compartment is forward, to starboard and may be used as a walk-through to the rest of the yacht. Teak and Philippine mahogany are used throughout, with inoke wood substituting for holly in the sole. Joiner's work is particularly well done, with exquisite detailing and nearly invisible dovetailed joints.
