The 1993 Russell Yachts Crowther is a 42-foot catamaran built for serious cruising. Twin 40-horsepower Yammer diesel engines deliver a cruising speed of 7 knots with a maximum speed of 11 knots, while the relatively short mast allows passage through restricted waterways without sacrificing offshore capability. The hull is solid fiberglass with no stress cracks, and the sail plan and rigging are in excellent condition.
The catamaran's wide 21-foot beam creates an open, airy interior across four cabins and two heads. The layout prioritizes accessibility and ease of maintenance, with plumbing, electrical, and structural components arranged for visibility and straightforward service. An interior rebuild completed in 2021 included a new canopy top with bench seating, updated helm, cosmetic refinishing, and replacement or upgrade of numerous systems and components.
The boat's design philosophy emphasizes simplicity and durability. Its combination of spacious accommodations, strong hull, and straightforward engineering makes it equally suited to day charters, extended cruising, or full-time living aboard. The 2021 refit addressed the owner's goal of creating a boat that is easy to maintain and repair without tight work spaces or hidden access issues.
