Designed by the legendary Robert Perry and built by Nordic Yachts in Bellingham, Washington, the Nordic 44 is widely considered one of the pinnacles of the 1980s "performance cruiser" era. Emerging from a shipyard adjacent to the famous Valiant factory, the Nordic 44 was envisioned as a faster, more refined successor to the cruising philosophies of the previous decade. Perry has frequently lauded the design in professional circles, famously noting in Sailing Magazine that the model possesses a "beautiful helm balance" and "does everything the Valiant 40 does and does it all far better." With approximately 39 units produced between 1980 and 1989, the boat remains a sought-after blue-water vessel for sailors who refuse to sacrifice speed for sea-kindliness.
