1993 Catalina 42

Introduction and Key Features

The Catalina 42 is one of those rare designs that simply got it right—delivering the space of a much larger yacht, the simplicity owners appreciate, and the kind of sailing characteristics that inspire confidence underway.

Jolly Mon! is a clean, well-cared-for example of this proven platform. With her shoal draft, wide-beam interior, and practical cruising upgrades, she’s purpose-built for the way most owners actually use their boats—weekend escapes, coastal cruising, Bahamas runs, or comfortable liveaboard life.

She’s easy to handle, forgiving under sail, and offers the kind of interior volume that continues to set the Catalina 42 apart in this size range.

Key Features:

• Shoal draft (4’10”) – access shallow cruising grounds with ease
• Expansive 2-cabin / 2-head layout with exceptional interior volume
• Proven Yanmar 4JH2E diesel (approx. 2,200 hours)
• Solar panel and wind vane system for extended time off the dock
• Air conditioning for dockside comfort
• Wide beam design delivers true “big boat” feel
• Simple, efficient sail plan with lazy jacks and mainsail cover
