The Catalina 42 MkII is a well-regarded cruising sailboat known for its spacious and comfortable interior, strong construction, and good sailing performance. Key features include a large cockpit, ample storage, and a functional layout that makes it suitable for both long-distance cruising and living aboard. Common criticisms include a limited water and fuel tank capacity and, in some configurations, less convenient cockpit storage.

  • Spacious interior: The MkII features a high-volume, well-lit interior with large windows and quality teak joinery.
  • Comfortable for long-term cruising: It is described as a comfortable "home on the water" with ample storage for extended voyages.
  • Good performance: The boat is considered a good performer, capable of winning club races and sailing at around 7 knots in moderate tradewinds.
  • Safe and stable: With a lead keel and a capsize screening ratio below 2.0, it\'s considered a safe and stable boat.
  • Functional cockpit: The cockpit is spacious and well laid out, with a large wheel and the convenience of a stern swim platform.
  • Ample storage: There is plentiful storage below deck, including the owner\'s cabin and galley.
  • Ease of use: The boat is designed for user-friendly operation, with lines directed into the cockpit and convenient winch placement
