1994 1994 Custom 43

Step aboard and you’ll notice how much thought went into making this 43-footer easy to live with underway. The wide bridgedeck gives a solid, quiet ride, and the helm sightlines let you keep an eye on sails and foredeck crew without feeling boxed in. Generous deck lockers swallow cruising gear, fenders, and spare lines, so the decks stay clean and safe to move around. Inside, the galley is arranged for bracing and one-handed cooking while still staying connected to the saloon. Ventilation is excellent, with opening ports and hatches that keep air moving at anchor. The davits and stern steps make launching a tender or slipping in for a swim simple, even when you’re short-handed.

This 43-foot performance cat shines in waters where depths change quickly and protected anchorages can be tight. Its modest draft opens up quiet coves and snug harbors that deeper monohulls pass by, while the wide beam keeps the boat stable and comfortable when afternoon chop kicks up. The efficient sail plan means you can keep moving in lighter breezes common along this coastline, yet still have the power to make miles on a good day. Plenty of solar capacity and tankage support longer stretches between marinas, ideal for hopping between small towns, island communities, and remote creeks without sacrificing comfort.
