I am a sailor, born of a nautical tradition passed to me by my father and my Grandfather Alfred. I’ve spent most of life on my passion which is the sea and the vessels which go upon them. I have had many such vessels and now I live on and sail on the sloop WINGS. which I acquired in 1986 with my wife Judy who shared my passion. For ten years we lived on Wings in Seattle and sailed, including racing. Then we left the Pacific Northwest and voyaged across the world, across the seven seas, to faraway places, and made them our own. For thirty-eight years I have lived and loved this life. I still live on Wings, in Mexico, and sail and race often. Judy passed away in June, 2023 and I miss her but you can still join us and sail the seas as we did for all those glorious years.

Hi there just looking at buying an S43 and wondered what IRC rating do you sail under? Any other info you deem useful would be very much appreciated as well cheers :)
There is no IRC racing where we are now. We race under PHRF. Our most recent IRC certificate (it's quite old) has us rating 1.038. The boats are 66 under PHRF, most areas, and rate reasonably under CSA and less so under ORC.
Compared to new boats of similar size they are much slower but still competitive under handicaps. Upwind they are OK, but on the downwind legs on windward/leeward courses in 12-18 knots of breeze, they are dynamite. We sail our Sere43 fast and deep with symmetrical kites while the A-sail guys reach back and forth behind us. Of course on long reaching legs we get killed.
Good luck
