The Max Cruise 44 SC is a performanceoriented cruising catamaran that represents a modern shift toward lightweight, semicustom multihulls capable of high daily averages without sacrificing liveability. Built by Max Cruise Marine in Vietnam, the 44 SC was designed to fill a niche for sailors who find production "condomarans" too sluggish and highend carbon racers too spartan or expensive. The hull is constructed using vacuuminfused vinylester resin with a foam core, further reinforced with aramid and Kevlar in highload areas and below the waterline to ensure structural rigidity at a remarkably low lightship displacement of approximately 17,000 lbs (7.7 tonnes). This model has since evolved into the Max Cruise 45 SC, which added a foot of length to the transoms to provide additional buoyancy for bluewater payloads.
