The Chatam Extreme 42 is an aluminum sailing yacht designed by French naval architect Gilbert Caroff and completed in 2019. Built with offshore cruising as its primary purpose, this 42-foot yacht combines a robust aluminum hull with a centerboard configuration that delivers both open-water capability and access to shallow anchorages. Her dark blue Awlgrip finish presents a clean, purposeful appearance.
The design reflects Caroff's philosophy of conservative, seaworthy proportions suited to long-distance passagemaking. Aluminum construction provides durability and impact resistance with straightforward repair options worldwide. A single 57-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine powers the yacht, and she accommodates two cabins and one head.
The yacht has completed substantial cruising—Caribbean passages, transit of the Panama Canal, and the Pacific Coast to British Columbia—demonstrating proven performance across varied conditions and sea states. She remains well-maintained and ready for continued ocean work.
