About the ATLANTIC 42 CATAMARAN
The Atlantic 42 Catamaran is a rare vessel designed by Chris White, with only 17 hulls built during its production run. Its specific production years are not definitively recorded in the available data, but its status as a low-volume build highlights its exclusivity in the catamaran market.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced multihull sailors seeking a spacious, fractional sloop-rigged cruiser with significant storage capacity, as evidenced by the high prevalence of watermaker and davit installations among owners.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 14500.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 3.83, the Atlantic 42 demonstrates strong offshore stability, further supported by owner reports of extensive bluewater equipment like watermakers and robust anchoring systems.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other Chris White designs like the Atlantic 38 or 40, as well as contemporary production catamarans from the same era such as the Lagoon 42 or Fountaine-Pajot models, though the Atlantic 42 offers a more bespoke, lower-volume alternative.
