A performance cruiser. "With virtually no shakedown prior to the [Key West] regatta, she won her class going away. Following race week, the 43 changed her colors and became a family cruising boat that took her crew around southern Florida and to the Bahamas." Good photos in the print version, none on line.

"With virtually no shakedown prior to [Key West Race Week], she won her class going away." This cruiser is capable of planing away from her stern wave at times, according to the reviewer.
