Que Será is hull number 11 of a limited production run of 19 K43 sloops built by Kettenburg Marine, San Diego, in the mid-1960s. She has taken her owners to Mexico, the South Pacific, Hawaii and safely home to Port Townsend. To our knowledge, she is one of three K43s built with teak decks, house and cockpit. She was extensively raced by her original owners in Southern California winning the Wrigley Cup shortly after her launch. We purchased her in 1985 and lived aboard for 10 years. Que Será has been moored at the Port Townsend Boat Haven since 2001, when we moved to Coupeville, Whidbey Island. Recent work includes restoration of the transom and mast by Taku Marine, canvas by Northwest Canvas, rigging by PT Rigging and Toss Rigging, woodwork by Mark Miller, and engine work by Galmukoff Marine. Aft deck and cockpit redesign and construction, replacement of all plumbing and electrical systems, and exterior and interior finishes have been renewed by her owners.
