This Slocum 43′ Sailing Yacht that is for sale was bought new in 1982 while laying in Clear Lake Houston, Texas. I first saw this Stan Huntingford Design at the Annapolis boat show and was overwhelmed by its spacious stand up room below. It is a very safe, well conceived blue water cruising yacht. In 1989 I was crossing the Atlantic on my way to Spain and was caught in a force 11 about 500 hundred miles east of New York. I had all the sails up with the wind at 55knts and no gunwales in the water. We did get the foresail and main down but, left the staysail up and she acted as a storm sail. The heavy weather lasted 14 hrs, but found no damage in the morning. The whole trip there and back caused no damage to the boat even though more than our share of force 5 or 6s. This is a well designed boat that surpasses the highest standards in construction and design. Below the yacht is richly appointed in teak joiner work with new cushions, upholstery, curtains and counter tops. This yacht Cutter Cruiser is ready to cruise anywhere you would like to go from Long Island Sound to sunny Spain or the Panama Canal and West. This Yacht is lying in Buffalo, NY.
