Contessa 43
10 / 43 - score 57%
The Contessa 43 is a 42.75ft masthead sloop designed by Doug Peterson and built in fiberglass by Jeremy Rogers Ltd. since 1977.
The Contessa 43 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a short water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
