Her generous overhangs, full keel and heavy displacement, make her ideally-suited for crossing oceans. Her present owner purchased in 2012 and has undertaken an impressive refit, including removing the teak decks, Alexseal painting her topsides, epoxy-coating her bottom, refinishing all exterior teak and much more. He installed solar panels, a Lithium battery to keep the refrigerator cold without always running the engine. He also had the Perkins 50 hp diesel completely rebuilt. Please come and inspect this very well built vessel. You will not be disappointed. She was not launched this season. She was the last Mason 43 built before they built the 44' Mason model. In 2022, her owner sailed her successfully to Halifax.
