1990 Catalina 42

The Catalina 42 is a 42-foot fiberglass sailing yacht built for cruising comfort and moderate performance. Her hull form—featuring a fine entry, firm midship section, and modified reverse transom—combines easy handling with capable weather performance. Under sail, she reaches cruising speeds around 8 knots on weather legs and can exceed 15 knots downwind. Powered by a single Yanmar diesel engine, she's manageable for a couple yet spacious enough for a crew of six or more on extended passages.

Below deck, the layout centers on a full linear galley to starboard and a generous salon with seating to port. The owner's stateroom forward is arranged as a Pullman berth, while two additional double cabins aft provide sleeping space for crew or guests. Two heads serve the accommodation—a day head aft and a full forward head with separate shower. The cockpit is notably spacious and fitted with a functional boarding platform, giving good working room for sail handling and deck work.
