The Poncin 44 is an elegant yacht with a sleek low-profile deck line and high aspect ratio rig suggesting that she is designed more as a cruiser racer, but her ease of handling and conservative interior suggest she is very much a cruiser. She truly is an elegant easy to handle sloop and certainly well worth a look. She is located on the Isle of Wight.

The Poncin 44 is an elegant yacht with a sleek low-profile deck line and high aspect ratio rig suggesting that she is designed more as a cruiser racer, but her ease of handling and conservative interior suggest she is very much a cruiser. She truly is an elegant easy to handle sloop and certainly well worth a look. Inspired by Olivier Poncin who owned and ran Dufour since the late 80's. Although little known in the UK she was tested by Yachting World in 2003 against the Dufour 44, x-43 and Centurion 45. She performed well and was considered one to watch and certainly well worth a look. She is located in Cowes, on the Isle of Wight, and viewings can be arranged through the Ancasta Cowes office.
