The Slocum 43 is a sought after bluewater cruiser designed by Stan Huntington to push past the horizon in safety and comfort. Its solid construction, cutter rig, long fin keel with skeg-hung rudder, and sea kindly motion put it on any "short list" for buyers looking to sail open waters.

Her Motion Comfort Ratio (37.7) and D/L (displacement to length) ratio (276) make the Slocum 43 one of the most comfortable boats of her size to take into big seas.

With her current owners, Timeout has done just that for the last 23 years. Over that time she has seen newer sails, an engine and transmission rebuild, and constant upgrades and maintenance. Just back from haul out, inspection, and fresh bottom painting, Timeout is ready to go onto her next adventure.

Just a few notable features:

-Custom hard dodger

-Removable forestay

-300' of freshly galvanized anchor chain on primary anchor

-Feathering propeller

-Refrigeration/freezer

-Complete navigation electronic suite

-Inflatable RIB dinghy with Yamaha 15 hp. 4 stroke outboard

-Davit system

-Offshore 6 person life raft

-Full canvas enclosure

-Double anchor bow roller w/ 2 separate anchor lockers

-Engine and tanks all installed below sole

Many, many spare parts.
