SELLER DESCRIPTION

Built to order by one of Europe's finest boat builders, the Sparkman & Stephens designed Northwind 43 made a big splash in the US when she debuted in 2001, winning a Cruising World Boat of the Year award. This gorgeous turnkey head-turner has just had her topsides awlgripped and is loaded with quality equipment. The orignal owners had her built to cruise the Med and then sailed her to the Caribbean, now family issues are keeping them closer to home. If you are considering a Saga, IP, or other quality yacht in this size range you owe it to yourself to see this beauty.
