The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.
The boat is equipped with 540.0 liter fresh water capacity.
The Bélize 43 is equipped with a fractional rig. A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a gennaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed.
The Bélize 43 has been built with different keel alternatives.
Unknown keel type
The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 2.25 - 2.35 meter (7.38 - 7.68 ft) dependent on the load.
Bilge keel
The Bélize 43 is equipped with a bilge keel. A bilge keel is a double keel, which allows the boat to be beached. Bilge keels are the most popular keel for tidal waters.
Bélize 43 can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.30 - 1.40 meter (4.27 - 4.57 ft) dependent on the load.
The boat may be equipped with dual inboard Yanmar 3GM3G diesel engines
The fuel tank has a capacity of 300.0 liters (79 US gallons, 65 imperial gallons).
