The Serendipity 43 is a 42.5ft masthead sloop designed by Doug Peterson and built in fiberglass by New Orleans Marine between 1979 and 1982.
26 units have been built.
The Serendipity 43 is a light sailboat which is a high performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a fast cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally small.
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.
