1991 Catalina 42

This 1991 Catalina 42 is a three-cabin, two-head fin keel model built for extended cruising. The boat features 6 feet 8 inches of headroom throughout, a large galley, comfortable dinette, and two showers. The master stateroom includes a pullman berth with a new mattress topper and substantial storage, while each aft cabin has a large double berth with cabinets and fans. The spacious cockpit seats six or more and includes custom perch seats, with excellent sightlines from the large wheel. An open transom and swim platform provide easy water access and dinghy boarding.

Powered by a 50-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine, the boat is equipped for self-sufficient cruising with 700 watts of solar power, a 12-volt Schenker watermaker producing 8 gallons per hour, and 130 gallons of water tankage. A custom stainless steel arch supports the solar panels and radar while serving as a dinghy davit. New custom 30-inch lifelines, stanchions, and solid safety rails integrate with the pulpits and arch. The boat carries a 10-foot AB aluminum RIB tender with a 4-stroke 5-horsepower Tohatsu outboard and boarding wheels.

Recent upgrades and maintenance include fresh bottom paint and new system components throughout. A 2022 survey and mechanical inspection are available. The boat holds current USCG documentation and a 2023 Mexican Temporary Importation Permit. The Catalina 42 design offers established cruising credentials, with over 1,000 built and a broad support community for parts and knowledge.
