1983 Brewer 42 Center Cockpit

This 1983 Brewer 42 is a center cockpit cruising cutter built on a proven design platform with thoughtful refinements. The fiberglass hull incorporates a keel-centerboard configuration that reduces draft, making it well-suited for shallow-water cruising and exploration. The cutter rig is designed for short-handed sailing and performs capably in a range of conditions.

The layout centers around a spacious open salon forward, with a generous aft cabin. The boat includes two cabins and two heads. A Ford Lehman 90-horsepower diesel engine provides auxiliary power and reliable range.

The boat has been maintained throughout its ownership. An oil sample analysis performed in 2025 came back in good condition.
