The Serendipity 43 was designed by Doug Peterson to compete in the 1980 Southern Ocean Racing Conference (SORC). These yachts were built by New Orleans Marine of a new epoxy composite. The design was strengthened by airex filled horizontal and vertical ribs in addition to seven 360 degree bulkheads. This design is noted for its light weight, strength, flexibility and double digit speed. *** Much of the content in this blog is from people who have experience with these amazing boats.

I just bought Roller Coaster! Taking her to Panama in February, starting up a school of nautical joinery for at risk indigenous youth in Panama city.
Does anyone here have construction docs. for the Serendipity 43? Sure would be nice to have for my new home.
Congrats, Scott! There are some scans of the original line drawings available in the S43 History section. I have larger versions of them available if you would like copies.

Thanks Matt. Didn´t even know you had replied. I was just refering to this blog spot when I saw your reply. Would love to get hold of whatever you can provide!!! My email address: scottsquared@earthlink.net
Hey Matt,
Looking for more info and maybe more... Dismasted 10 hrs. after leaving riggers who replaced standing rigging. I'd be interested in getting hold of detailed drawings if any members have them and if anyone knows of a suitable mast, rigging, sails, etc. at good prices.
Regards,
Scott
Rollercoaster is not a Serendipity 43. It is a Choate 44, also a Doug Peterson Design. It was originally owned by the Golison Family in Long Beach, CA.
