Nirvanau - 1997 42' CATALINA 42 MK II
Deltaville Virginia United States $88,000 USD
Deltaville Virginia United States
The
Catalina 42 is one of the best-liked cruising boats of all time. It is
well very well appointed with 6'8 headroom in the salon, it can accommodate
most people. The 2 cabin layout allows for a spacious interior and a LOT of
storage, which is what every cruiser desires. Nirvanau has a deep
draft (6'8") which, along with the classic mainsail, makes for
outstanding performance. Wide side decks, a large, deep cockpit with all
lines running aft, a walk-through transom make it easy and safe to move around the
boat and comfortable when at anchor.
Nirvanau
has done many miles of passagemaking under three ownerships. The current owners
are the third owners and sailed largely in the North East during the summer,
but have done 2 trips to the Bahamas in 2013/14 and 2018/19. The boat is
clean and tidy and ready for the next adventure.
