General Description
~ John Kretschmer of Sailing Magazine writes....
"I confess, the 42 is one of my favorite Catalinas. It's a handsome boat. The bow is raked just enough to give it a clean entry and still maintain a relatively long LWL of 36 feet. The hull flares quickly but the wide, 13-foot, 10-inch beam is nicely absorbed into the overall flow of the boat. The beam is carried well aft, providing space for double aft cabins and a roomy cockpit, yet it doesn't seem excessive like many of today's boats. It actually tapers a bit at the transom. Good design demands a sense of subtlety and that's always been one of Douglas' best attributes."

Vessel Walkthrough
On deck
The Catalina 42 cockpit is spacious and well laid out. The boat is a pleasure to sail and to socialize aboard while dockside, and this is rarely the case. The seats are long enough to stretch out on. The 40-inch wheel is large enough to make steering enjoyable but still easy enough to climb around when going aft to the stern step. The helm seat opens to allow access to the molded stern step. Two deep lazerettes and two coaming hatches offer plenty of storage.
The traveler is forward of the companionway, with a mid-boom sheeting arrangement that really loads up the boom. The shrouds are inboard, allowing for relatively tight sheeting angles and easy mobility on deck. Cleats and deck hardware are adequate. The anchor windlass is located in the chain locker and the stemhead fitting is small but functional.
Down below
The three cabin model feature a large head and shower forward in lieu of a traditional V-berth. This is a much better use of space. Nobody really wants to sleep all the way forward anyway and by pushing the saloon farther aft it becomes more useful while underway. There's a small head aft for use while sailing. The forward cabin is a Pullman-style berth to port. Maybe this doesn't seem as friendly as the newer island berths offered on the latest versions of the 42 but it is very practical. Pullman berths are easily fitted with lee cloths for sleeping and are an efficient use of space.
The saloon in the popular three-cabin version features a nice L-shaped dinette to port with the galley opposite. The nav station is aft to port and uses the settee for the seat. In the two-cabin model the galley is to port, aft of the dinette, and there is a settee and nav station to starboard. Both models have a small second head to starboard.
The three-cabin model features two double cabins aft. The cabins are, for the most part, more spacious than similarly styled European boats. Each contains a hanging locker and enough elbowroom to stand up and change clothes.
Overall the interior is roomy, bright and airy. There are seven to eight opening ports, depending on the model year, and overhead hatches throughout.
