Mechanical and Rigging

Exterior:

The FP Belize 43 has been designed to be as light as possible without having to compromise on stability. The construction using solid fiberglass in areas that require heavy-duty parts, such as the bottom of the hulls.

With such a build, the cat is strong and stable yet light, thus only 8500kgs. This explains why it is so much fun to cruise in the Belize 43 because performance is maximized in every way possible.

The boat also has sacrificial mini keels and integral foam crash bulkheads, which can protect it when an underwater collision occurs. The mini keels detach in the event that such a crash occurs.

The boat has its square head main and furling genoa, the Belize 43 sails quite pleasantly even in winds of 5kts which are not as strong as you would like for a fast-paced cruise.

It is also safer to sail her since there are two furling heads that are controlled from the cockpit using two winches.

The bridge deck clearance, proper weight distribution as well as the safe and enclosed cockpit make her much easier to handle in bad weather. This is also bolstered by the ease by which you handle the sails.

The boat is fitted with two Yanmar 3JH4-CE engines which also include an SD50-Saildrive, which in turn delivers the torque you need for choppy waters.

The fuel tank holds a massive 300 liters of fuel. The boat also has an 80 Amps second alternator for the Starboard engine.
