43.5' wauquiez pilot saloon 43

The Wauquiez Pilot Saloon 43 has only been owned once before. The vessel inherits all the experience collected by the Wauquiez shipyard. The essence of the unique Pilot Saloon concept is elegance and high performance, panoramic vision from the raised saloon and inside the navigation station, concentration of all technical components in an accessible machinery room, and a bright galley located under the panoramic windshield. The performance of this Dubois-designed yacht confirms the reputation of both the architect and the shipyard. She possesses high speed, easy motion in rough conditions, and a powerful rig capable of being controlled with a shorthanded crew.

Highlights: washer/dryer, 5 solar panels, 8 toolboxes with complete sets of necessary tools and replacement parts, diving gear, hammock, portable gas stove, projection screen, two folding bikes, a salinator, and a new leather wheel cover, Tempur-Pedic mattress in main cabin, bookshelves throughout, and a new Zodiac lifeboat.

As of June 2009: completely new rigging, engine overhaul and updates, bottom repainted, side-by-side US/European outlet and electric wiring throughout, and other improvements.
