1987 Irwin Mark III Cruiser Cutter

The Irwin 43-CC Mk II is a thoughtfully updated center-cockpit cruiser. Its underwater geometry—a deep forefoot, shallow fin keel, and centerboard—contributes to stable motion and dry decks without pounding. The accommodations are generous and divided for privacy, while the cutter rig and adjustable center of lateral resistance suit short-handed bluewater work. The known record is largely one of owner satisfaction rather than defects.
