1995 Catalina 42

The 1995 Catalina 42 is a fiberglass sailing yacht built for offshore cruising and long-term liveaboard comfort. Powered by a Yanmar 50 hp diesel engine, she cruises at 6 knots and reaches 8 knots at speed. Originally maintained in fresh water for over two decades, the boat underwent extensive refitting between 2022 and 2026 and has been actively cruised since, with minimal corrosion and careful upkeep throughout.

Below decks, the two-cabin layout offers 6'8" headroom and thoughtful finish work with ample storage. The galley is configured for sea use with upgraded Formica countertops, a large stainless-steel sink with integrated cutting board and drying rack, and expanded prep and pantry space. Refrigeration and freezer systems were completely renewed with CoolBlue components and enhanced insulation. Additional comfort features include a Mabru 17,000 BTU air conditioning and heating system, hot water tank, SeaWater Pro 40 GPH watermaker, and a portable washing machine. Two heads serve the accommodation.

The electrical and power infrastructure is comprehensively modernized for extended offshore cruising. Systems include 660Ah of Victron lithium batteries, 1000 watts of solar panels with five Victron SmartSolar controllers, a Victron MultiPlus inverter/charger, upgraded Balmar charging system, and both a Fischer Panda and Honda backup generator. Navigation and communication equipment features a 2026-installed Garmin GPSMAP 8612xsv chartplotter, Garmin AIS transceiver, radar, autopilot, masthead wind instruments, dual-station VHF, and Starlink connectivity.

On deck, the yacht is set up for efficient shorthanded sailing with upgraded running rigging, self-tailing winches, 2022 Mack Sails mainsail and 130% genoa, whisker pole, and a Wavestopper hard dodger with full Sunbrella enclosure. Ground tackle includes a Rocna 25kg anchor with 248 feet of G4 chain and a secondary Bruce anchor. A recent rigging inspection was completed in May 2026.
