Design
The ClubSwan 43 is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of E-glass, with carbon fibre reinforcement. It has a fractional sloop rig with a fixed bowsprit, with a deck-stepped mast and carbon fibre spars. The hull has a plumb stem, an open plumb transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by dual wheels and a fixed fin keel with a weighted bulb. It displaces {{convert|15540|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}}.
The boat has a draft of {{convert|8.8|ft|m|abbr=on}} with the standard keel.
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 3JH5E diesel engine of {{convert|39|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds {{convert|40|u.s.gal}} and the fresh water tank has a capacity of {{convert|80|u.s.gal}}. There is also a {{convert|8|u.s.gal}} holding tank.
The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settees in the main cabin and two aft cabins, each with a double berth. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink. The head is located amidships on the starboard side.
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with an asymmetrical spinnaker of {{convert|1873|sqft|m2|abbr=on}}, flown from the bowsprit.
