Used Bounty 44 Sailboats for Sale

The Hardin Bounty 44 emerges from Taiwan's "golden age of boat building" as a prime example of a robust, heavy-displacement cruising ketch, designed for comfortable and secure offshore voyaging. Originally introduced in 1977 by Hardin International, a builder renowned for prioritizing solid construction and liveaboard capabilities, the Bounty 44 quickly established itself as a vessel for serious cruisers. With a design often credited to Bill Hardin, this model laid the groundwork for the successful Hardin 44/45 and Hardin Voyager 45, which followed around 1980 after a redesign. It encapsulates a philosophy focused on stability and comfort in challenging conditions, rather than outright speed, appealing to those who dream of extended periods at sea.
