Impeccable Condition and Ready to Sail! United States, Georgia, Lake Lanier This Catalina 42 MKII is a rare find hardly used and meticulously maintained inside and out by her current owners. Shes ready for turn-key enjoyment by her next lucky owner. Key Features: Engine: Reliable Yanmar 56 HP diesel engine with less than 200 hours. Sails:2010 Full-batten mainsail (in-boom furling for easy handling). 125% furling genoa (new in 2023). Bottom Paint: Freshly painted in October 2023. Electronics: Raymarine ST60 depth, speed, and wind instruments, plus a Raymarine plotter. Interior: Original cream ultra-leatherette upholstery in the salon and full mattresses in both staterooms. Layout: Two-Cabin, Two-Head Configuration:Spacious centerline berth forward with en-suite head. Additional Features: Sailing Systems:In-boom furling mainsail (worth $35,000) and electric winch for effortless sail handling from the cockpit. Four self-tailing winches, rigid boom vang, and aft lead halyards. Offers similar performance to conventional slab-reefed mainsails with increased sail lifespan and ease of use.
Galley: Equipped with a three-burner stainless steel stove/oven, refrigerator, and microwave. Comfort & Entertainment:Custom-fitted cockpit cushions, folding cockpit table, and a dodger/bimini combo. Stereo system with cabin and cockpit speakers for entertainment.
Convenience:Transom swim platform with ladder and cockpit shower. Manual and electric bilge pumps.
Safety: Bow and stern rail, double lifelines, anchor windlass, and complete ground tackle. Why She Stands Out: This boat has been freshwater kept on a lake and has never been exposed to saltwater. Recent upgrades include new batteries, new furling headsail, and hull waxing (October 2023). Shes a capable and comfortable coastal cruiser, perfect for a couple or a family with guests.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Shallow draft wing keel version: 4.92’/1.5m
It is thought that more than 1000 CATALINA 42’s (including the MKII) have been built making it one of the most popular sailboats in this size range ever!
