MurDina – A Rare & Beautiful CSY 44 Walk-Thru Cutter Ketch
Named MurDina, meaning Sea Traveller, this rare CSY 44 Walk-Thru Cutter Ketch is a true bluewater cruiser—custom-built, never chartered, and ready for adventure.
With only three owners since new and under the current owner’s care since 2008, she has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded for both performance and live aboard comfort.
Since 2008, MurDina has sailed from Canada down the Eastern Seaboard, explored Cuba, and cruised extensively throughout the Caribbean. She is a proven passagemaker—built for adventure, yet offering the comfort and security of a true home on the water. With her solid fiberglass construction, classic lines, and warm wooden interior, she’s as strong as she is beautiful.
For sailors seeking a well-built, ocean-ready cruiser, MurDina is ready for her next chapter. Will you be the one to write it?
What Makes the CSY 44 Walk-Thru Cutter Ketch Special?
The CSY 44 Walk-Thru is one of the most sought-after models from Caribbean Sailing Yachts (CSY), known for their incredible strength, seaworthiness, and comfortable design. Built in the late 1970s and early 1980s, these boats were originally designed for the Caribbean charter market but quickly became a favourite among serious cruisers for their rugged construction and spacious layouts.
Key Features That Make It Stand Out:
✅ Solid Fiberglass Hull – No coring, just thick, hand-laid fiberglass, making it one of the most durable cruising boats ever built.
✅ Walk-Through Design – Unlike the "Walk-Over" version, the Walk-Thru layout provides easy access, making movement around the boat more comfortable and safer in rough seas.
✅ Cutter-Ketch Rig – Offers versatile sail options, allowing for balanced sail plans in various conditions—ideal for offshore cruising.
✅ Spacious Interior – The warm, handcrafted wood interior gives a classic charm while providing ample space for comfortable living aboard.
✅ Built to Cross Oceans – Designed with long-distance cruising in mind, these boats have a reputation for being safe, stable, and reliable in any conditions.
The CSY 44 Walk-Thru Ketch is a true sailor’s sailboat—strong, capable, and full of character. Whether you’re looking for a serious bluewater cruiser or a comfortable liveaboard, this vessel is a rare find that delivers both.
