The Voyage NORSEMAN 43 (1999) is a solidly built and spacious cruising catamaran, designed for bluewater passages and extended liveaboard life. Constructed with 20mm thick fiberglass and equipped with skeg-mounted rudders, the vessel offers strong structural integrity and protection below the waterline.
It is powered by two economical Yanmar 30 HP engines, which received comprehensive servicing in 2024, including replacement of the saildrive gearboxes, seals, and bearings. The antifouling was also renewed that year, and the steering system benefits from skeg protection, offering additional durability under sail.
A custom solar arch installed in 2024 supports four 425W panels (1.7 kW total), feeding into a 900 Ah AGM gel battery bank managed by dual 150/70 MPPT controllers, enabling a high degree of off-grid capability.
A new RIB tender with a Tohatsu outboard, gas grill, and improved deck lighting add to the vessel’s practicality and comfort.
Inside, the yacht features four private cabins with en-suite heads and showers, and a well-equipped galley with a gas stove, oven, induction burner, two sinks, and two refrigerators. The saloon is bright and inviting, with updated cushions and covers.
No osmosis. Moisture levels were checked professionally a week ago. No areas were found where moisture levels exceeded acceptable limits or suggested a risk of osmosis developing.

A recent examination revealed several issues that will require attention. Notably, the port keel shows signs of impact and a repair, and cracks were observed near the front beam and trampoline track fixings. The hull and deck paintwork appear to be done with low-quality paint. Deck hardware and safety fittings also showed wear: the anchor windlass casing is damaged with exposed electrical components, the chain is corroded, and gas cylinders lack proper securing systems.
The standing rigging is original and well past its service life, and both sails are aged. Running rigging is worn. Safety equipment also needs attention.
These findings do not undermine the vessel’s strong design and potential but highlight the need for some investment and technical upgrades to bring the boat to full offshore cruising readiness.
