1997 Saga 43

A near-perfect live-aboard cruiser for a couple --- and that's just what Bob Perry and the Saga Concept team had in mind when they introduced the Saga 43 in 1997. Over 50 Saga 43's are now cruising! Special features like the self-tacking Saga VG rig make the 43 especially suitable for short-handed cruisers --- a nd the stellar performance, inshore or offshore, really sets the Saga apart from the other cruisers.  "ST. SOMEWHERE" is a Classic Pullman version with owner's cabin and private second head in the forepeak.
