Insurance Survey in Malagari Boatyard Samos Island.
I'm not a great lover of 'American Yachts', but I must say I was really impressed with the design and build of this one. As all Catalinas, the 42 was designed around accessibility – to wiring, plumbing and other systems because the designer Gerry Douglas believed boats should be low maintenance to maximise the owner’s time on the water. It was a smart approach that was copied by competitors. Its a shame not more Yachts are built with the same principles in mind.
1,022 were built over about 25 years. This one launched in 1990, the prolific 42 went through a few tweaks and iterations including the Mark II that was introduced in 1995, but these were mere improvements on an already classic design.
The fin keel was offered with a six-foot draft but a 4’10” version was created like this example for the shallow waters of the East Coast.
I liked this! The mainsheet traveller is on the cabin top, and two winches on either side of the companionway manage halyards and reefing lines. |
