Mason 43
10 / 49 - score 58%
The Mason 43 is a 43.83ft cutter designed by Al Mason and built in fiberglass by Ta Shing Yacht Building Ltd. between 1978 and 1985.
180 units have been built.
The Mason 43 is a heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is good. There is an excellent 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.
