Francesca
Details
Francesca an exceptional example of the highly regarded Efficient 44, a Wooden Boatshop vessel designed for long range cruising with an emphasis on comfort, speed and economy. Built in 2022 and launched in March 2023 Francesca has recently completed the Around-Australia Cruise. As the third E44 hull WBS has produced she is perfectly set up for extended live-in voyages with all the added amenity and safety features. These WBS boats are rarely, if ever, available on the second-hand market.
Designed as a serious cruising vessel rather than a marina ornament the Efficient 44 offers extraordinary visibility, light and ventilation throughout. Panoramic windows, wide walk-around decks and a commanding helm position make her a joy to run, while the refined and paired back interior is perfectly suited to long-term living aboard.
Powered by a Volvo Penta D11 Francesca delivers effortless performance with impressive efficiency and range. Large fuel capacity, water-maker, generous storage and a practical two-cabin layout make her ideal for extended cruising, from Tasmania and beyond.
Recently serviced and antifouled, fully equipped and turnkey, Francesca is ready to go! A rare opportunity to acquire a proven Efficient 44 — and an even rarer chance to step straight into a boat that has already done the nautical miles. She comes with an extensive range of spare parts including a propeller and RIB tender. Her current owner is upgrading to a Deal Island 50.
