The Catalina 42 is the logical result of Americas most experienced sailboat builder continuing to listen carefully to the needs and desires of experienced sailors.

All sailors desire speed undersell, easy motion and easily driven with a fine entry, firm midship sections, and smooth run aft terminating in a modified reverse transom with an uncommonly spacious and functional boarding platform.

A long horizontal skeg runs aft between the fin keel and the rudder for sure tracking. The rudder large and balanced, ensuring control in all conditions. 

An important consideration for many cruising sailors is the ability to realize the boat's performance potential under sail with a short-handed crew.

The Catalina 42 deck was designed with short-handed sailing in mind. All the halyards, the mainsheet and the single line main reefing controls are led to the cockpit and placed to be operated from under the dodger when necessary.

The wide weather decks and inboard shroud base make passage forward easy and secure. The below deck electric windlass and bow roller simplify anchor handling.

The two stateroom layout was carefully planned to accommodate your sailing lifestyle. Finished with a varnished teak joinery interior ash hull side paneling and excellent light and ventilation from Lewmar opening hatches and ports.

The hull is solid fiberglass. ABS- approved lamination schedule consists of skin coats of 2-ounce mat and 7.5 -ounce cloth. From the centerline to 6" above the molded bootstrap are eight alternating layers of mat and roving in weights ranging from 1.5 to 21.7 ounces, all of which are overlapped 6". Additional support on the centerline is provided by a 50" wide strip of 24-ounce Promat running the length of the hull.

Above the waterline are 11 overlapping layers of mat, roving and Coremat in 1.5- to 21.7 ounce weights.

The hull thickness at the keel is 1-3/8" to 1-1/2", 5/8" to 3/4" at the turn of the bilge, and 1/2" to 9/16" at the sheer.

The deck lay-up schedule is similar to the hull, though it is cored with a combination of 1/2" marine plywood (where deck hardware is installed) and 3/4" end grain balsa.

Hull rigidity is provided by a fiberglass pan bonded to the hull at the sheer by 1/2" thick, four ply marine plywood glassed between the hull and liner, which is C clamped in place until cured. The pan also incorporates the cabin sole and berth foundations. Frank Butler was one of the early proponents of pans, credits this development with dramatically reducing construction costs.

The hull-deck joint is an external flange bonded with fiberglass-reinforced polyester, then through bolted 8" centers with 1/4" stainless steel fasteners. The seam is covered by an aluminum rubric attached on 3" centers that is covered with a vinyl insert (tan or grey depending on vintage).
