43' Saga 43 2000

Interior accommodations

Beginning forward, LEGACY has a forepeak work room area in place of the usual forward head arrangement found on most Saga 43s. This space allows access to the anchor locker and comes complete as every workbench should, with a mounted vice. There is a crash bulkhead between this space and the pullman berth just aft. There is a limber hole with seacock valve to allow drainage but seal off the area in the event of forward damage. The workshop is heated by a radiator connected to the Espar Hydronic heater.

Moving aft through the locking privacy door leads to the owners cabin with pullman style berth off to the port side. Dimensions of this bunk are 57” wide at the head 42" at the foot and 6'4" long. The pullman berth is equipped with fans, reading lights, and a lee cloth for secure use at sea. Plentiful storage is available below the bunk and off to starboard are one hanging locker, one locker with shelves, and a stack of drawers. A heat exchanger located under the bed provides heat to this cabin from the Espar.

The full beam salon is midships and is a pleasing space for life aboard at anchor and also functional in a seaway. Solid teak handholds and features are placed generously throughout the cabin. A drop leaf table is situated just aft of the mast and each leaf of the table is supported by hinged wood knees. With the leaves up the table measures 50” square, adequate for six or more people. Linear settees flank the sides of the hull with contoured cushions comfortable for sleeping or sitting. The port settee measures 78” long by 24” wide and the starboard side is 80” long. The settees are fitted with lee cloths for sleeping at sea. Storage is outboard with space for books, knick-knacks, or easily accessible snacks. The water tanks are located under the settees on each side. Four overhead lights, four reading lights, two overhead hatches, and two dorade vents complete the space. The navigation station is situated to starboard at the aft end of the salon and just forward of the galley. The navigator utilizes the aft end of the starboard settee for sitting. The DC and AC distribution panel is outboard, and wiring is easily accessible. The flip top chart table holds quick grab items and plotting tools. A chart light, 110V outlet, 12V outlet, and several storage options complete this space.

The L-shaped galley is to starboard at the base of the companionway. Grey flecked Corian countertops provide ample workspace and are complete with ¾” tall teak fiddles. A double basin stainless steel sink is close to centerline and is serviced by a single action faucet. A hinge out trash bin is under the sink solving the often-overlooked trash compartment on vessels. Outboard to starboard is storage and a three-burner Force-10 stove/oven. Facing aft is the top opening Frigoboat keel-cooled refrigerator/freezer with LED interior lighting and air circulating fan that automatically turns on- and off- when the lid is open. The compressors for this system were re-built and serviced in 2023. A microwave oven is installed above the aft end of the countertop and runs off the inverter or shore power. The salon and the galley are heated by two heat exchangers, one under the port settee and the other under the sink storage.

Opposite the galley on the port side is the enclosed head with shower stall. There is a manual flush Jabsco toilet (all hoses, valves, and tank replaced 2024) and 19 gallon polycarbonate holding tank with tank gauge and macerator pump. The single basin sink is outboard with storage above. There is an overhead light, two opening portlights and one overhead hatch that provides ample ventilation to the space. The shower stall is enclosed by a clear curved acrylic door that slides on grooves integrated into the shower pan. A molded in seat is situated outboard for safe showers while underway.

The aft stateroom is just to port at the base of the companionway. The mattress is very generous with two mattress cushions totaling 75” wide and 6’7” long. Plenty of room for storage bins AND a person to comfortably sleep outboard. Under the centerline cushion is additional access to the aft end of the engine and drivetrain. Battery access is aft and outboard under the bunk cushion. A cedar lined hanging locker is oriented outboard at the head of the bunk. Completing the space is a book shelf, drawer storage, opening portlights, overhead lights and two reading lights. Heat is provided to the cabin by a heat exchanger located in the lazarette.

The companionway is moderately sloped but quite modern for the design. Five steps allow entrance to the cabin and are removable for engine access.

Hull and deck

LEGACY is hull number 26 of 55 Saga 43’s built in Canada by Saga Yachts and designed by the renowned Bob Perry. The hull and deck are hand laid fiberglass and balsa cored above the waterline. An aluminum toe rail runs the length of the deck and is attached with adhesive sealants and mechanically with stainless fasteners on four-inch centers through a flange in the hull. She has an esthetically pleasing and modern shearline, nearly plumb bow and ‘sugar scoop’ walk-through stern. She has a modest bowsprit serving several purposes: The furling genoa tacks at the end, the anchor is as far forward as possible and decreasing the chances of hull damage when deploying or retrieving.

Her hull is painted white with a thin cove stripe with the signature Saga arrowhead on the bow and slightly wider dark blue boot stripe at the waterline. Two coats of bottom paint were recently applied in 2024.
