Description
En Route to New Orleans - Currently in Panama City, FL
The Catalina 42 was one of Catalina's most popular models with over 1000 hulls sold. The hull design is Nelson/Marek, and she has a wonderful feel under sail. Catalina’s in-house design team, led by chief designer Gerry Douglas, designed the Catalina 42. Introduced with the 1989 model year, the 42 was the first American-built sailboat of this size to offer a three-stateroom layout. The Mk I version was built until February 1995, ending with hull # 477.
Between Dreams is an amazing value at only $115,000 with all of the recent maintenance and upgrades. She is ready to take you off the grid with her new solar panels, lithium batteries, water maker, and tender.
