Report of the death of the J/44 Class was premature--nine J/44s sailed the 2011 American Yacht Club Fall Regatta in Rye, NY. Better turnout than more recent designs in their size range J/109 (5), Swan 42 (6), Beneteau First 36.7 (7) and J/122 (5 in IRC) , though not quite up to the level of J/105 (15) and J/80 (12).
