Cosa tratta questo video

A 1997 Hampton Yachts 43 listed by Little Yacht Sales at $350,000 is the subject of this walkthrough, which examines why a 27-year-old Taiwanese-built bluewater passagemaker commands that price.▶ 0:34 The boat displaces 26,000 pounds on a 43-foot hull with a 13-foot beam and 5.5-foot draft, with 9,000 pounds of ballast.▶ 1:04 Its long keel, attached rudder, and canoe stern produce a capsize screening formula of 1.84 and a sail area-to-displacement ratio of 16 — numbers that point to a stable, moderate offshore platform.▶ 1:31 The cutter rig, in-boom furling, and electric winches make the boat manageable short-handed.▶ 2:17 The current refit includes a new engine, generator, rigging, sails, lithium battery bank, full electronics with radar and AIS, and fastener-free glued teak decking.▶ 3:29 The pilothouse interior helm is the layout's defining feature, enabling all-weather watch-keeping from below.▶ 4:42 Downsides include a small cockpit, no walk-through transom, heavy generator dependence due to limited solar potential on the canoe stern, and system complexity that demands an experienced owner.▶ 4:30 The price premium reflects refit readiness, not comparable 1990s 43-foot market pricing.▶ 6:58
