In just 4 years, over 200 hulls were produced between these two models, similar yet so different. Bruce Farr designed the 440 for Beneteau, offering two variants: the 440, conceived for charter, 2 tons lighter, and the 44CC, with a center cockpit, for owner use, a more cruising-oriented hull, optimized for long stays on board. The numbers speak for themselves, a success. (The Clipper designation varies depending on the target market).
