Broker's comments

The RORQUAL NS 44 was presented as one of the best "ocean cruising" sailboat in the 1970s and 1980s. It is a seaworthy, fast, solid boat. Its lines are balanced and its center of hull very low. The NS 44 was designed by the naval architect Auzépy Brenner to sail on the high seas for experienced owners wishing to sail the transatlantic and built by the Nautic Saintonge shipyard in Les Sables d'Olonnes. The present owner prepared her to be ready to sail.
