Corsair Marine 43 Serendipity R/C 1980 "Corsair"

Enter the Salon of this 43 Serendipity Doug Peterson Racer/Cruiser 1980 via the Companionway forward and center in the T-Shaped Cockpit & down 4 steps. Varnished teak cabinetry and accent teak paneling provide a warm contrast and yacht finish appearance to the light painted interior hull, ceiling, and some bulkheads; providing a bright interior via light and ventilation from the heavy-duty Bomar deck hatches. Flooring is a light-weight composite material with numerous cut-out access panels to the bilges.

The functional Galley is to port and opposite is the forward-facing Nav table. The wide and spacious Salon has 7ft. Settee berths on each side, with equal-size Pilot Berths above and outboard with storage behind each settee backrest. Like-new marine-grade blue fabric cushions are not all shown in the photos, but have rarely been onboard and show little wear. The updated 40 HP Nanni/Mercedes diesel engine is located under and behind the Companionway stairs and is easily accessible for quick routine inspection and for all other servicing.

Aft of the Nav Station and under the Cockpit is a single berth as well as a double berth on the port side along with shelves above and storage areas below the berths. Although there is no door separating this area from the Salon, the double-berth is tucked behind the Galley and engine compartment solid bulkheads.

Moving forward of the Salon, to port is the private Head with electric toilet, vanity, sink and storage below and outboard. Further forward to port is a shower stall, which also has brackets for storage underway for a teak boarding ladder, (shown in one photo). Opposite the Head is a Hanging Locker and forward is a Hanging Rope locker. All the way forward is the easily Convertible Sail Locker/V-Berth/Forepeak with Cushions and framing (currently dry-stored).
