The Lafitte 44 is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of the "Performance Cruiser" genre to emerge from the design board of Robert Perry. Commissioned in the late 1970s and built by the Chung Hwa Boat (CHB) yard in Taiwan, the vessel was intended to compete with highend European yachts by blending traditional aesthetics with a more modern, efficient underbody. While CHB was predominantly known for its prolific production of trawlers like the Marine Trader series, the Lafitte 44 represented a significant pivot toward highperformance sailing luxury. Approximately 60 to 70 of these hulls were produced between 1978 and the mid1980s. The boat's reputation is built upon its robust construction, heavy displacement, and the meticulous teak joinery that was a hallmark of Taiwanese yards during this era.
