The CSY (Caribbean Sailing Yacht) 44′ sailboats were originally built for chartering in the Caribbean islands. Mainly built in the 1970’s and early 80’s, their thick fiberglass hulls made them a ruggedly built mid-cockpit boat that could withstand the abuses from chartering. The CSY 44′ has earned the #11 spot on Cruising Worlds “40 Best Sailboats” of all time.
