Tank capacities — where the figures come from
  • Fuel 285 gal
    “285 U.S. gallons (1,080L; 237impgal)” — spec database, en.wikipedia.org · “Approx. 1,000–1,100 litres” — spec database, sailing-maja.com
    Wikipedia copies the same spec database as our earlier figure; no builder spec for the original 44 was found (the Nauticat Association says its resources lack one).
  • Water 200 gal
    “200 U.S. gallons (760L; 170impgal)” — spec database, en.wikipedia.org · “800 litres of fresh water capacity” — search excerpt, listingsport.com
    No builder figure found.
  • Water heater unknown
    No Nauticat 44 builder document was found on the owners' association site, and no review or listing gave a size.

Tanks are often replaced or added on older boats — check the tank labels or a survey for yours.

Thrusters and steering — where this comes from
  • Stern thruster not fitted
    Our earlier figure of none has no source, and nothing was found either way.
  • Steering unknown
    “Her long range capabilities and dual steering station enable her to take you to any port you chose” — broker listing, batagent.se
    Only a dual steering station is confirmed (broker spec sheet); the steering system isn't named. The Nauticat Association has no original 44 specification (a member's 2020 request for one went unanswered). The sister 33 and 38 used two-station Capilano hydraulic steering, but that isn't evidence for the 44.

Thrusters and steering are often replaced — check the units on your boat before ordering parts.

Pilothouse motorsailer offered as ketch, cutter or schooner.
