1984 Swanson 42' Cutter

This 1984 Swanson 42' Cutter is a fiberglass cutter-rigged sailing yacht built for blue-water cruising. The hull features a full keel design that provides stability and tracking for extended passages. At 42 feet overall with a 12.33-foot beam, the boat offers substantial interior volume while maintaining manageable proportions for a cruising couple or small family.

Power comes from a single 68-horsepower Kabolota diesel engine installed new from the factory and never rebuilt, paired with a direct-drive system and three-blade bronze propeller. The boat achieves a cruising speed of 6 knots and a maximum speed of 7.2 knots under power. Anchoring is handled by an electric windlass.

The interior holds two cabins and one head. The boat is US-documented and equipped for extended offshore sailing. The Swanson design represents solid, proven construction from a respected builder, and this example retains its original diesel powerplant with low operating hours.
