Nautor 43
17 / 53 - score 59%
The Nautor 43 is a 42.75ft masthead ketch designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built in fiberglass by Nautor (Swan sailboats) between 1976 and 1979.
24 units have been built.
The Nautor 43 is a very heavy sailboat which is under powered. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is excellent. There is an excellent water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
