The Pj 43 is a 43.0ft masthead sloop designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built in fiberglass by Nautor (Swan sailboats) since 1969.
The Pj 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.
