First introduced in the 1990s as the G44 MK1, the design was revamped in 2001 (starting with Hull #19) to incorporate advancements from the Gozzard 37 and 41 models. The modifications included a slightly increased draft and a significantly reduced wetted surface, thanks to a new keel and rudder design. These changes improved pointing ability, enhanced righting moments, and boosted directional stability. Additionally, the boat's structure underwent a complete re-engineering process, resulting in a lighter, stronger vessel—essentially a yacht that combined strength with efficiency.

The hull is molded from female production tooling. The laminate as with all Gozzard Yachts is a “sandwich” cored construction. The “SP Systems” Corecell foam core increases panel stiffness, strength, impact resistance, and sound/thermal insulation while maintaining an excellent weight-to-strength ratio. Most of the weight saved by designing the cored laminate is then re-applied in extra skin thickness on either side of the core, making the laminate schedule, in the words of the SP engineers, “robust in the Gozzard tradition”. Only marine-grade Vinylester laminating resins are
used in the hull laminate.

Extended fin keel with external lead ballast 

The hull deck joint is bedded in 3M 5200 and bolted on 6" centers with 5/16" s/s machine screws with ny-lock (aircraft) nuts. This is covered in a solid teak cap rail. 

Fiberglass rudder with two 1/4" sides. A stainless steel web is welded to the shaft. The cosmetic joint between the two halves is glassed over and faired creating essentially a solid structure.  

All main or structural are constructed using cored fiberglass laminates and glassed to the hull and deck prior to the interior trim is installed. 

The gelcoat is an NPG/ISO Cook “Buffback”. It is backed with Hydrex-100 vinylester skinning resin. Only white gelcoat is used below the waterline for better quality control. The hull is constructed using both “hand lay-up” and “vacuum-assisted resin infusion” techniques using Hydrex-100 vinylester laminating resin to eliminate osmotic blistering. Bottom redone 2025.

The hull laminate is constructed of knitted double-bias E-glass RM (0-90) and XM (45-45) cloth and is built up to a thickness shown on the following chart. Additional reinforcing is utilized in the bow, trail-board, chain plate, mast step, and transom areas.

The core material measures ¾” in thickness, and has a density of 6 pounds per cubic foot. The core is installed using both vacuum bagging and hand-laid techniques. The core runs from the cove stripe to approximately 10” from the centerline. The coring material is eliminated and replaced with a solid glass laminate in the areas of the sheer line, centerline, keel, rudderpost, and thru-hulls.

The finish above the waterline is Off White gelcoat with the standard broad stripe “Traditional” configuration in any normal color. The stripes are painted in Awlgrip not gelcoat to extend the service life of the colored finish. Below the waterline is finished with 2.5 mils (dry) of Interprotect 2000 barrier coat to create a “primed” surface for the (optional) bottom anti-fouling paint of your choice.

All thru-hulls below the waterline have Forespar ball type Marelon seacocks
