Builder drawingThe PJ43 CR, a distinguished product of the collaboration between the legendary design firm Sparkman & Stephens and the American builder Palmer Johnson, represents a pinnacle of the IOR (International Offshore Rule) era of yacht design. Launched in the late 1960s as S&S Design No. 1983, the PJ43 earned an immediate reputation as a formidable "cruiserracer," a designation reflected in the "CR" suffix often found in historical documentation. While the hull is identical to the iconic Nautor’s Swan 43, the Palmer Johnson variants were frequently finished with semicustom interiors and specific deck hardware choices tailored for the American market. These vessels are widely regarded by maritime historians as some of the most beautiful and seaworthy monohulls of the 20th century.
