The Catalina 42 was introduced in 1989 by one of the most successful boat builders in the United States. The Catalina 42 is one of the most successful boat designs from that company testament to a philosophy and strategy that has endured and indeed become a model in the industry. That philosophy- ‘keep it simple and di it right’ exemplifies the Catalina 42. ‘SHEEGAGH is a couples yacht, a family cruiser, and a boat that is still competitive with the plethora of modern designs. This is a 3-cabin wing keel version of the Catalina 42. It is the model to have.
1989 Catalina 42, 3-Cabin, Wing Keel ‘SHEEGAGH’
The Catalina 42 is one of the moat successful of sailboat designs. Ever. It embodies the best of design and construction that has transcended the span of time from 1989 to the present day.
In the words of Gerry Douglas, Catalina’s chief engineer and designer for the past 24 years, “The Catalina 42 is a rather simple, sturdy boat. What you get is good quality, because the structure is there. If you want to make it more elaborate, you can take it as far as you want to go.” In profile, the Catalina 42 is a perfectly proportioned, balanced design that has never gone out of style. SHEEGAGH is a series 1, C-42, wing keel, 3-cabin version. It is easily sailed by a couple, but it will just as easily accommodate a family for a day sail or an extended cruise. The modest draft is perfect for the Chesapeake Bay, the ICW, and the Florida waters.
