Carter 42 for sale, 1981, is a reliable and fast sailing vessel designed for long ocean voyages. Despite her age, the yacht is simple and reliable, without compromising on performance.
In the spring of 2024, the boat made the passage from Guatemala to the Azores and completed this journey successfully.
Extensive work has been carried out on the boat this year, including an osmosis treatment using the fiber and epoxy West System. This involved sanding the hull down to the fiber to ensure it dried thoroughly before applying the treatment. Additionally, a significant amount of cleaning and painting has been done inside the boat to refresh and maintain its interior.
In 2022, the ship was carefully prepared for the transatlantic voyage and equipped with modern amenities for a safe and comfortable voyage. All critical components, including the rigging, boom furling, batteries, and engine heat exchanger, have been updated for 2022, ensuring optimal functionality and efficiency.
On board, there are two spacious cabins—one in the bow and the other in the stern—a comfortable living room and kitchen and ample storage space, making the yacht ideal for long voyages.
Carter 42 is equipped with a reliable 75-hp YANMAR 4JH3-TE engine, which is regularly serviced. Four 12V 110A AGM batteries and two 150W solar panels were installed in 2021.
The set also includes two mainsails and two furling jibs, which are in good condition. The Aries Wind Pilot system is installed for autonomous navigation.
If you are looking for a simple and safe boat that sails very well, this could be yours. In case you are looking for a little more comfort with a little work and investment, it could also be your future boat 🙂
