The Pearson 43 is a 42.75ft masthead sloop designed by William Shaw and built in fiberglass by Pearson Yachts between 1969 and 1972.
The Pearson 43 is a heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent 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 a reasonable score and ranks in the top quarter. It is a good choice.
