A huge hit ever since her introduction in 1988, the Catalina 42 was produced for 23 years, With over 1000 hulls launched, there is an active 42 Owner's Association, which we quote below (we encourage you to check out their website, as there's a wealth of useful information available there):
"The Catalina 42 Mark I was introduced in 1988 and evolved until 1995 when it was replaced by the Mark II Model. The hull was adapted from an earlier racing hull designed by Nelson Merik. Catalina Yachts modified the racing hull with a new cabin top, interior, and rig in order to make it a comfortable coastal cruising boat which two people could easily handle. The spacious design is comfortable for a gang of crew on a week-long cruise. With a race-bred hull and a substantial rig, the boat is moderately stiff and capable of weather legs approaching 8 knots, and downwind action which can push the knot meter past 15 knots. She has a PHRF handicap rating of 102/108 (So. California), which has been the subject of many heated discussions by Cat42 skippers. But as the sun sets over your favorite hideaway anchorage, there is little argument that the Catalina 42 is hard to match for her comfort."
Circe III was launched in 1994, the final year of Mk I production, and as such represents the evolutionary summit of that design; she is the fin keel, three-stateroom version. Only two owners, the boat was cared for by knowlegeable yachtsmen and very well equiped. In all that time, she was lightly used, with only 571 hours on her engine and to top it off, lies in a slip that can be sublet for a year in Shilshole Marina.
