The Mason 43 is a 13.4-meter cutter-rigged sailboat designed by Al Mason and built by Ta Shing Yacht Building in Taiwan from 1978 to 1985. It features a fin keel, a solid fiberglass hull, balsa-cored decks, and mahogany plywood bulkheads, with a displacement of 11,339 kg.4:20 The Mason 43, also available as a ketch, is considered a capable offshore cruiser, known for its heavy-displacement construction and integrated chain plates.5:48 Aboard *Lady K Sailing*, the Mason 43 is described as having high-quality joinery and a sea-kindly motion in heavy weather, though it is tender in light air and heels quickly due to its large mainsail and low ballast-to-weight ratio.6:29 Common owner-reported issues include leaky teak hatches, marginal icebox insulation, and difficult engine access for its Perkins 4108 or Yanmar engines.8:02
