*Preliminary Photos, more to come.
Solstice is an exceptional example of the revered Catalina 42MKII design- this special model offers the coveted owners layout – with 2 cabins and 2 head, and a utility area aft of the galley (in lieu of the often under-used 3rd cabin).
This vessel has been meticulously outfitted – for a comfortable existence on or off shore power – adding several impressive upgrades for easy sailing and additional comfort. Solstice will keep her new owners cozy and comfortable whether they enjoy adventures cruising, at anchor, on a mooring, or at the dock.

Manufacturer description:
The Catalina 42 has earned an international reputation as the leader in her class. By leading in design, cruising performance, and comfort, the Catalina 42 has become the first choice of sailors worldwide. The hull of the 42 MKII is high volume, and easily driven, with a fine entry, firm mid-ship section, and smooth run aft terminating in a modified reverse transom with an uncommonly spacious and functional boarding platform. A long, horizontal skeg runs aft between the fin and the rudder for sure tracking. The rudder is large and balanced, ensuring control in all conditions. The Catalina 42 MkII deck was designed with shorthanded sailing in mind. All the halyards, the mainsheet are led to the cockpit, and placed to be operated from under the dodger when necessary. The wide weather decks and inboard shroud base make passage forward easy and secure. The bow roller and below deck electric windlass greatly simplify anchor handling. The two cabin arrangement feature varnished teak joinery and ash side paneling on the hull. Excellent light and ventilation are provided naturally from aluminum-framed opening hatches and ports. Numerous recessed halogen lights offer an inviting ambiance.
Known upcoming maintenance items:
Dodger Canvas is still functional but well worn.
