Catalina Yachts has always known the secret to success in the North American sailboat market: build comfortable boats that sail well, look nice and are affordable.  After expanding its range year after year, in 1989 chief designer Gerry Douglas and company President Frank Butler thought the timing was right to introduce a new 42-foot model.  Not surprisingly, they were right, and 477 of the original Catalina 42s were sold before Douglas updated the design in 1995.  The Catalina 42 was one of the first American production boats to offer three private sleeping cabins.  The 42 is rigged as a sloop with slightly swept-back double spreaders. The working sail area is just under 800 square feet.
