Rh 43

Designed by renowned naval architect Ron Holland and built by Taiwan's respected Ta Chiao Shipbuilding, this 43-footer represents quality construction from the mid-1980s golden era of performance cruising yachts. Holland's signature design philosophy shines through in the balanced proportions and thoughtful engineering that made his boats sought-after on both racing circuits and cruising grounds. The masthead sloop rig and fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration deliver excellent sailing performance, while the robust fiberglass construction ensures durability for serious offshore passages. With a displacement of 23,780 pounds and ballast of 9,390 pounds, she strikes an appealing balance between stability and performance. The comfort ratio of 33.08 suggests a relatively stiff, performance-oriented design that won't pound excessively in a seaway, while the capsize screening formula of 1.81 indicates good offshore capability. This yacht excels as a serious bluewater cruiser with competitive sailing ability. The generous sail area of 860 square feet provides excellent light-air performance, while the substantial displacement offers the load-carrying capacity needed for extended cruising. Ta Chiao's reputation for quality construction, combined with Holland's proven design credentials, makes this an excellent choice for sailors seeking a capable offshore cruiser with racing pedigree.
