Contessa 43

Expertly designed by Doug Peterson and built by Jeremy Rogers Uk, this 1979 Contessa 43 represents a refined example of a classic performance sloop. Measuring 13.03 meters in length with a 3.81-meter beam and a 2.4-meter draft, the vessel is engineered for stability and speed. Its 9,525 kg displacement provides a solid feel at sea, while the cutter rig setup offers versatility for various wind conditions. The interior layout includes two cabins and one bathroom, comfortably accommodating up to 9 people for coastal excursions. The vessel is powered by a 48 HP Volvo Penta MD 22 inboard diesel engine, installed in 1996, which uses a shaft drive transmission system. The boat maintains a 90-liter fuel capacity for its range. Throughout the years, this sailboat has undergone extensive refitting, including updates to the engine as well as the complete replacement of both standing and running rigging. These mechanical and structural improvements ensure that the boat remains a reliable choice for enthusiasts of classic yachts who appreciate performance sailing. Located in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Italy, this vessel is offered for sale at 70.000 EUR. The VAT is paid, and the boat is available for inspection.
