2005 Cabo Rico 42 Pilothouse

This 2005 Cabo Rico 42 Pilothouse is a Chuck Paine design built on a fiberglass hull with a low-profile pilothouse that defines its character. The elegant sheerline and purposeful design distinguish this cruising yacht from conventional alternatives, while its robust construction proves capable of extended offshore passages.

The boat is powered by a Yammer engine and carries a beam of 12 feet across its 42-foot length, proportions suited to comfortable seakeeping and livable interior volumes. The pilothouse configuration provides shelter and visibility for extended cruising, a practical centerpiece to the yacht's layout.

This example has completed a 14,000-nautical-mile Atlantic circuit, demonstrating its bluewater capability and the soundness of its construction. The boat remains ready for serious cruising and long-distance passages.
