Carter 43 for sale (1972) in Hellevoetsluis, Netherlands

Classic sailing yacht with splendid hull shape and good sailing characteristics. The current owner refurbished much of the overdue maintenance in 2023. He painted the hull and mast, carried out engine maintenance, replaced the batteries, partially replaced the stays, repaired the deck rail, etc. The mainsail is furling on the boom, hoisted and lowered at the mast. The furling genoa can be operated from the cockpit with a number of robust winches. You can steer in the cockpit with both the steering wheel and the tiller, of which the tiller is removable. A manual windlass is mounted on the foredeck. The life raft has been moved aft to eliminate obstructions on the foredeck. A cutter sail can be hoisted on the cutter stay. The cutter stay has also been removed for better handling of the genoa.
