After a long winter spent preparing for the 2019 52 SUPER SERIES season, the opening event in Mahón, Menorca will provide the first indication as to this season’s pecking order. Unlike the flood of new boats that were launched for 2018, this season sees a variety of tweaks and changes across the fleet as teams strive towards gaining an edge in an already highly refined and ultra competitive fleet. Among the changes, several teams with Botin designed boats have replaced their keel bulbs in a bid to improve performance. But teams themselves have also changed, most notably that of last year’s decisive champions Quantum Racing who have a number of key personnel changes. And then there is Vladimir Liubomirov’s Bronenosec Gazprom team, back after sitting out the 2018 circuit but now back with a brand new boat stacked with talent. So be it team changes, boat tweaks or new builds, there are plenty of new variables thrown into the mix for the start of the 5 event 2019 season. Racing started on 21st May.

This DeFever 44 is bound to catch the eye of anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable, and capable cruiser—especially if you’re dreaming of long-range adventures or living aboard internationally. Designed by Arthur DeFever, a legend in the trawler world, this 44-foot flybridge motor yacht was his most popular model for good reason. It’s built tough with a solid fiberglass hull, a deep keel, and sturdy struts protecting the running gear, making it a seaworthy choice for tackling coastal waters. The displacement hull—steady and fuel-efficient—means you’re not burning through diesel like some lighter boats. You get a generous salon with a galley-up design—perfect for keeping the cook in the conversation—plus a full-beam master stateroom aft with a queen berth, ensuite head, and enough storage to settle in for months. The forward guest cabin has a V-berth for visitors, and the walk-in engine room is a mechanic’s dream—near stand-up headroom for easy maintenance. Add in the flybridge with its commanding views and roomy aft deck for lounging or entertaining, and you’ve got a boat that feels like a floating home without skimping on practicality. Owners love the walk-around decks for easy handling and the tender setup. For someone who values durability, comfort, and the freedom to roam, don’t let this one pass you by! https://www.yachtworld.com/yacht/1985-defever-44-trawler-9694624/
