Built by Taiwan's Mao Ta Shipyard from 1980 to 1983, this Ted Brewer-designed cruiser represents classic blue water sailing philosophy with only 15 hulls ever constructed. The Oceanic 43's traditional long keel configuration and cutter rig reflect Brewer's expertise in creating seaworthy offshore vessels capable of handling extended ocean passages. With a displacement of 27,500 pounds and 9,000 pounds of ballast, this fiberglass cruiser offers the substantial build quality that serious voyagers seek. The long keel design provides excellent directional stability and self-steering capabilities, though at the expense of maneuverability in tight quarters. Her cutter rig configuration allows for versatile sail handling options, particularly valuable when managing varying wind conditions during long passages. The boat's impressive comfort ratio of 36.44 indicates exceptional motion comfort in seaways, while the capsize screening formula of 1.73 suggests good stability characteristics for offshore work. Her hull speed of 8.08 knots reflects respectable performance for a traditional heavy displacement cruiser. This rare vessel appeals to sailors seeking a proven offshore platform with classic lines and traditional sailing characteristics. The limited production run makes finding one a special opportunity for those valuing Brewer's timeless design approach to serious cruising yachts.
