Additional Information

• The current owner is the second owner of this yacht, and he has used this X-43 with much delight for cruising. Maintenance has always been done without discussion or reservations.
• The general winter storage work and upgrades to the yacht have been carried out by the local X-Yachts dealer, while the official Volvo Penta dealer has always performed the service on the main engine.
• Furthermore the sails have been taken to the UK Sails loft for a yearly check as well.
• Every winter this X-43 has been placed on shore, fully polished by a professional and the bottom preparation done by a professional, after which the owner applied the new antifouling himself.
• Last winter saw a major inspection to the mast and replacement of the rod-rigging, along with a check on the rudder bearings by lowering the rudder for proper inspection. The Jefa steering system has already seen maintenance a few years ago.
