The Irwin 43 Mk III Center Cockpit Sloop features one of the most practical and well-designed layouts among cruising yachts. Its split-level floor plan creates a sense of spaciousness typically associated with much larger vessels over 50 feet.

Upon descending the companionway, you enter a generous salon flanked by comfortable settees on both the port and starboard sides. Above the settees are four double-door cabinets that provide ample storage.

To starboard and toward the rear, you'll discover a fully equipped kitchen that feels like home, complete with a custom spice rack and a large refrigerator and freezer. It includes all the essential appliances, such as a microwave and a three-burner propane stove with an oven.

On the port side, toward the back, is a convenient aft-facing navigation station with an electrical panel. Additionally, moving further aft leads to a spacious chart table or desk area, ideal for a workspace on long journeys.

As you move forward, the boat features a spacious V-berth with netted storage at the tip. On the port side, there's a private en-suite head, complete with a standalone shower stall.

At the very rear of the boat lies an exceptional master stateroom—a rarity in a 43-foot sailboat. This generous centerline island queen bed offers plentiful storage and drawers at every turn. There's also a forward-facing vanity with a pull-out stool and mirror, adding a touch of luxury for anyone on board. The en-suite head to starboard boasts a thoughtfully tiled standalone shower stall, enhancing the at-home feel.

Overall, the boat is filled with light and air, being one of the pioneering deck saloon models. With seven fixed glass windows, fourteen opening portholes, and six opening deck hatches, it ensures a bright and refreshing atmosphere throughout.
