IRWIN 43

Traditional looking sloop with spacious centre cockpit, raised aft-deck, bowsprit, davits and transom bathing platform. Descending the companionway steps (cleverly half varnished and half bare teak for good non-slip) you enter into the saloon. This is very spacious and light with excellent stowage throughout. There is ‘L’ shaped seating to port around the saloon table (converts to a double bed) and a settee to starboard which is an additional single berth. Aft of this, down some steps, is the practical well thought out galley area. The engine and generator compartment is in the centre of the boat, behind the companionway steps. To port is a very well equipped and generously sized navigation station in the walk-through to the aft cabin. 

The excellent owners cabin aft has a Queen sized centreline double bed with wardrobes and drawers offering plenty of stowage. There is a good sized en-suite heads/shower compartment and forward of the saloon is a further large heads/shower compartment and spacious double guest cabin, again with good stowage. Viewing of this lovely, well cared for yacht is highly recommended and she is attractively priced to sell.
