The Olympic Sea 42 is a 42-foot sailing yacht designed by Douglas Blair Peterson and built by the Greek shipyard Olympic Yachts. Its fiberglass hull draws inspiration from the Jeanneau Sun Legend 41, combining a sleek profile with responsive handling and stable offshore motion. The boat reaches a maximum speed of 8 knots and cruises comfortably at 6 knots under diesel power.
The interior is arranged across six cabins with a galley and saloon, providing comfortable accommodation for family cruising or longer passages. The layout balances spaciousness with practical functionality, making the boat suitable for both day sailing and extended voyages.
The design emphasizes efficient wave-cutting performance, good upwind characteristics, and predictable handling in varied conditions. The inboard diesel engine provides reliable auxiliary power, and the boat retains classic lines that reflect solid Greek build quality from the early 1990s. This 1991 example is a capable cruiser suited to sailors seeking a blend of performance heritage and livability.
