Pursuant to my previous posting, here is the boat featured in the book, Down Denmark Straight, the Swan 43. We have mentioned this design in passing in these pages before. This was the second model to be designed by the firm for Nautor Swan.
The prototype was completed in 1968. During a production run from 1969-1972, 67 boats were delivered. Here's an early article. Please double click for zoom.

Design 2239 Nautor 43 Motorsailer
This 43' "motorsailer" was built by Nautor Swan and is quite unusual for Swan. For whatever reason Rod Stephens just loved this style of boat. I can see him pushing hard to have Swan build them. We have no record of exactly how many of this model were built.
Note sloop shown above and ketch below.
Here is the general arrangement plan.
Principal Dimensions
LOA 42'-9"
LWL 32'-10"
Beam 13'-10"
Draft 6'-3"
Displacement 35,280 lbs
Ballast 10,143 lbs

For sale a Dix 43 with a Hout Bay YC Marina South Africa
This was taken a few years back as the canvas spray dodger has since been replaced with one of our hard dodger kits, also now changed is the mainsail cover, a new one was fitted using Sunbrella cloth and tailor made to fit the boat.
The boat has seen continual upgrades and is in a nice condition, its a true blue water cruising yacht and is now for sale.
This boat is set up to be sailed by a crew of just two, with many of the control lines are accessed by the helmsman.
The boat has a C.O.F group C classification with South African Sailing ( sas) the classification can be upgraded to an offshore level by adding a number of extras etc.
Contact me for the 'Word' folder on the boat.
