The Landfall 43 is a Canadian sailboat that was designed by Robert W. Ball, the chief designer of C&C Design, and first built in 1982.[1][2][3] The Landfall 43 was built with the charter trade in mind, to compete with Morgan and Whitby’s centre cockpit models.[4][5] The Landfall series, begun with the Landfall 43's predecessor the Landfall 42, was part of a trend within C&C Yachts during the later 1970s and early 1980s to develop more cruising-oriented designs under company president George Cuthbertson's direction.[6]
Production
The design was built by the Canadian company C&C Yachts starting in 1982, but it is now out of production.[1][2]
Design
The Landfall 43 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig or optionally a ketch rig, a centre cockpit, a raked stem, raised transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 24,600 lb (11,158 kg) and carries 9,075 lb (4,116 kg) of ballast.[1]
The boat has a draft of 5.50 ft (1.68 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1]
The boat is fitted with a Westerbeke diesel engine of 58 hp (43 kW). The fuel tank holds 70 U.S. gallons (260 L; 58 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 145 U.S. gallons (550 L; 121 imp gal).[1]
The design has a hull speed of 7.86 kn (14.56 km/h).[7][8]
Accommodations
Access to the aft cabin is through a companionway from the cockpit, or through an interior passageway with full standing headroom. The aft cabin is large, with a centre line double berth, a hanging locker plus other lockers, and private head with shower. There are four opening ports and an opening hatch for light and ventilation. The passageway forward has a workbench outboard (or optionally two sea berths) and engine access inboard.[9][10][11]
Entering the saloon, the galley is to port, and the navigation station is just ahead. The large U-shaped galley has a refrigerator, double stainless steel sinks, a row of drawers, a hidden built-in disposal basket, a dry locker, and a three-burner propane stove with oven.[10]
The saloon's U-shaped dinette converts to a double berth, with a settee across. There are six lockers behind the settees. Forward is a head, accessible from either the saloon or the forecabin. The forward cabin is a double and provides lockers, hanging lockers, and other storage.[9][10][11] There are six opening ports, five opening hatches, and two dorade boxes forward for ventilation.[10]
