The sailing performance of the Catalina 42 is very respectable and will surprise many as you slip past on your way to the next anchorage. The Catalina 42 deck is clean and unobstructed with stays well inboard for tighter sheeting angles and easy passage. The cockpit is large and has great storage with bimini, dodger and infill. Cockpit seats are 6'8" long allowing you to stretch out comfortably. A walk through transom with swim platform, drop down ladder and hot and cold deck shower to rinse off after snorkeling the coral reefs.
Dolce Vita is a 2 cabin version allowing for a much bigger galley with plenty of cupboard space, draws and pull out mini pantry with front and top opening refrigeration and seperate freezer. Owners cabin is a Pullman style stateroom to port, just forward of the saloon with hanging lockers and drawers to starboard and a large head and shower forward. There is a second guest cabin aft with an adjoining head and shower. Wrap around style Saloon that seats 8 and can drop down to make another double berth with Nav staion and additional seating to starboard.
Powered by a Yanmar 54 hp shaft driven diesel pushing her along at a comfortable 6 1/2 knots. Good access from both forward and port sides for servicing.
There is a factory fitted Lewmar Bow Thruster to help with berthing.
