This X-43, hull number 104 (2006) is a well-maintained performance cruiser offering an excellent balance between speed, comfort, and safety. Over the years she has been consistently maintained and upgraded, including the installation of a new Volvo Penta D2-50 engine with saildrive in 2023. As with any yacht of this age, there are a few points of attention, which are openly and transparently mentioned in this description.
The white hull with dark blue stripe received a complete underwater refit in spring 2023, including new epoxy protection and antifouling. Teak decking is fitted in the cockpit, on the side decks, coachroof and bathing platform. The teak is generally in fair condition but requires some local attention and maintenance. A carbon steering wheel, sprayhood with new canvas (2024), and an electric windlass enhance ease of handling and onboard comfort.
The Sparcraft mast with triple spreaders, Reckmann furling system (serviced in 2023), and a full set of Andersen stainless steel winches ensure efficient sail handling. Recent North Sails (2023) — a fully battened mainsail and furling headsail in NPL Tour Xi cloth — deliver strong performance, while additional sails including spinnakers make her suitable for a wide range of sailing conditions.
Below deck, the yacht features a teak interior with a practical three-cabin, two-head layout, one equipped with an electric toilet. The longitudinal galley is located to port, and upgrades such as new upholstery, a renewed cooker, and an updated heating system enhance onboard comfort.
With comprehensive navigation electronics, autopilot, AIS, radar, and Wi-Fi integration, this X-43 is well equipped for extended cruising as well as comfortable family sailing.
