42' ft Catalina Mark One

The Catalina 42 Sloop is one of the most successful production boats ever built.
Over 1000 built to date, offering good looks, comfortable accommodations & a
lively sailing performance.

My boat is well maintained very clean & equipped. I use the boat frequently and also
sail to the Bahamas at least once a year for 3 to 6 weeks at a time. I love the
following features of my boat.
!.) It has great headroom, I stand 6ft. 2\" and I have plenty of room to spare.
2.) Shoal draft is very important, I can go more places without fear of running
aground with the 4\' 10\" wing keel.
3.) Performance, I love it, I am not a club racer but I find I am always the fastest
boat on the bay. She points well and that combination makes sailing more
enjoyable. I find I can successfully sail during wind conditions that keep other boats
at their docks.
4.) I don\'t have a generator but I do have a great bank of high output solar panels
that provide all the electrical needs for weeks at a time away from the dock.
5.) My friends and I love to swim & the walk through transom with swim platform
makes entering & exiting the water very easy.
