2001 Catalina 42 Sold Boat in Palmetto, FL US

Looking for a Catalina 42 that's ready to go cruising, "Weezy B" has been there and done that. She has been updated and nicely equipped for a couple to cruise loaded with everything you need including spares. She has been cruised from Florida to the Chesapeake Bay and over to the Bahamas. She is laid out with the master stateroom forward with the highly desirable centerline queen berth. The Catalina 42 has earned an international reputation as the leader in her class. By leading in design, cruising performance, and comfort, the Catalina 42 has become the first choice of sailors worldwide. The hull of the 42 MkII is high volume, and easily driven, with a fine entry, firm midship section, 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 or wing keel and the rudder for sure tracking. The rudder is large and balanced, ensuring control in all conditions. The Catalina 42 MkII deck was designed with shorthanded sailing in mind. All the halyards, the mainsheet and the single line main reefing controls are led to the cockpit, 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 bow roller and below deck electric windlass greatly simplify anchor handling. This boat's two cabin arrangement features varnished teak joinery and ash side paneling on the hull. Excellent light and ventilation are provided naturally from aluminum-framed opening hatches and ports. Numerous recessed halogen and LED lights offer an inviting ambiance.
