For Sale: Carter 43 fast and stable sailing yacht, spacious and light interior, recent refurbishment
Classic cruiser-racer sailing yacht with beautifully lined hull and good sailing characteristics. The current owner refurbished the overdue maintenance in 2023. He painted the hull and mast, carried out engine maintenance, replaced the batteries, partially replaced the rigging, repaired the deck rail, etc. The mainsail is furling on the boom and is hoisted and lowered at the mast. The furling genoa can be operated from the cockpit with a number of large 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 latter has been removed by the owner, also for better handling of the genoa.
The interior is very light thanks to the white color and windows all around the roof. The blue upholstery was renewed in 2023. Next to the cabin entrance is a chart table on the starboard side with a quarter berth behind it. On the port side is a galley, with a large worktop in which two top-loading storage cupboards are integrated, a gimballed gas stove with oven and a double sink with cold running water. The saloon has two settee benches, with pilot berths overhead and a large folding table. There are two large water tanks under the benches. In the passage to the front cabin there is a storage space on the starboard side, for hanging sailing gear etc. On the port side is a heads with pump toilet and sink. The front cabin has a spacious v-bed and a bulkhead has been made at the foot end to create extra storage space.
