Icelander 43 archive details

Yachtsnet's archive of boat details and pictures

The following information and photographs are displayed as a service to anyone researching yacht types. Details and photographs are normally based on one specific yacht, but could be a compilation. No reliance should be placed on other yachts of the same class being identical. Where common variations exist, we have endeavoured to indicate this in these archive details. The price guide covers the normal ranges of age and condition. Exceptional boats, whether good or bad, may fall outside these guidelines.
