1984 Slocum 43 Cutter

The Slocum 43 is a substantial, traditional cruising yacht designed for comfortable passage making and extended cruising. With her cutter rig, generous accommodations, and classic cruising profile, she represents an appealing opportunity for someone looking for a capable offshore-oriented sailing vessel with considerable equipment already aboard.

This 1984 Slocum 43 is powered by a factory-rebuilt Perkins 4-108 diesel, currently showing 1,537 hours since rebuild. The engine is coupled to a three-blade Max-Prop feathering propeller, providing efficient sailing performance and dependable auxiliary propulsion. The propeller shaft was replaced approximately 18 years ago.

Navigation equipment includes B&G Zeus 2 chart-plotters at both the helm and navigation station, AIS, 36-mile radar, and Sirius weather capability. A substantial AGM battery bank consists of three 680 amp-hour AGM house batteries and a dedicated AGM starting battery, supported by a Magnum battery charger and monitoring system.

The cutter rig is equipped with hank-on headsails and includes a cruising spinnaker that has never been used. Additional cruising equipment includes a barbecue, Life Sling safety recovery system, and two three-gallon propane tanks.

Also included is a 10-foot West Marine rigid-bottom inflatable dinghy powered by a Yamaha 9.9 HP outboard, providing convenient transportation and access to shore.

This Slocum 43 offers the appeal of a traditional cruising yacht with substantial navigation equipment and a useful collection of cruising accessories. She presents an opportunity for a new owner to undertake maintenance and upgrades while preparing her for future cruising adventures.
