1985 Mason Mason 43

The Mason 43 is a proven offshore cruiser built with a fiberglass hull and powered by a Yanmar diesel engine producing 53 hp. She cruises at 6 knots with a maximum speed of 8 knots. At 43 feet long with a 13-foot beam, the design provides excellent stability and comfortable motion underway. The boat is known for easy handling under sail and generous storage throughout.

Interior spaces are notably roomy and well-suited to extended cruising. The layout accommodates extended time at sea, with comfortable accommodations and thoughtful galley and cabin design that have supported three years of sustained offshore passage-making.

The hull, engine, and interior are in sound condition. The rigging, some electronics, some sails, and various systems require updating and maintenance. Overall, the boat has good bones and remains structurally solid, though she will benefit from owner attention to bring her systems and equipment to full working order.
