Your question is rather vague but I located a Countess 44 Club online
which has a lot of information and may provide just what you need. I
have written for Cruising World and visited Pearson’s several times in
the 70’s back when I was sailing out of Boston on various boats.

The Countess 44 is a 44.6-foot, 28,000 lbs. displacement Ketch design
cruising boat with a 5’ 4” draft.

You’ll find an enthusiast club on Geocities complete with a list of
many owners and hulls.

http://www.geocities.com/countess_club/

The people at this site estimate that a total of 59 of these boats
were built in the timeframe you specify.

There are 30 boats listed on the site, many with photos and most with
the current owner. As of today, Hull#2, “Contessa” is listed for sale
by the owners, Larry and Sharon Blackmun. There is complete contact
information provided at the site.

I hope this provided the information you were looking for.
