SV 'Heart' is a 1984 Hans Christian 43T, built in Taiwan for the emerging US cruising market. The first owner, a heart surgeon called 'Heartfield' from Texas, commissioned 'Heart' in 1984. He sailed the Pacific and the Far East in the 80’s and 90’s, then sailed across the Atlantic and left her in France. The second owner was a British marine surveyor who sailed her all over the Mediterranean. SV 'Heart' is moulded as a single piece laminate of 24 layers with 5.6 tonne encapsulated ballast and has a cutter rig with a deck stepped single spreader mast. The deck is sandwich cored laminate for insulation and strength. She still has her original teak deck which is glued to the deck rather than screwed in. The underwater surfaces are epoxy coated.

Further aft opens the saloon in a wide-open arrangement with the galley aft in the same area entered from the cockpit deck downwards through the companionway. The starboard sofa can be turned into a full pull out single berth and there is a pilot berth, a single fixed berth on the portside.
