43' Saga 43

Brigadoon III has been well cared for by its owners through regular maintenance such as oil and
filter changes as well as pro-active replacement of worn items. In addition, many upgrades have
been provided throughout its ownership, as noted above.
SAILING HISTORY
The yacht is one of (55) Saga 43s designed by Robert Perry and built by Saga Yachts in Saint
Catherines Ontario. It was immediately exported to the US where the first owner sailed it for a
period before selling it to its second owners who moored it in Chesapeake Bay where the boat
saw limited use since the owners lived in Pennsylvania. After purchasing the yacht in 2011, we
undertook extensive upgrading and then sailed it to Puerto Rico in 2013. For several months
each winter, we sailed the throughout the Caribbean, storing the boat on land for the
remainder of each year in either Puerto Rico or Antigua. After five winters in the Caribbean, we
sailed back to Annapolis MD via Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas. In 2019 the boat was
transported by truck from Annapolis to Anacortes, WA, where it was re-rigged and the hull and
topsides were painted with Awlgrip. We kept the boat for a short period of time in Blaine, WA
before importing it into British Columbia, Canada. Canadian taxes were paid at that time. In August, 2023 we
departed Vancouver and sailed south through the US, Mexico, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa
Rica and Panama. The boat is currently moored at Club De Pesca marina in Cartagena,
Colombia.
