Description
The Camper & Nicholsons Mod 42 ketch with 2 cabins perfectly embodies timeless elegance and British craftsmanship that have made Camper & Nicholsons one of the oldest yacht builders in the world. Designed in the 1970s-1980s, this 42-foot model combines classic lines, robust construction, and authentic sailing pleasure.
Its reinforced fiberglass hull ensures excellent seaworthiness, even in demanding conditions. The spacious and well-designed deck offers smooth circulation, while the deep cockpit guarantees safety and comfort for the crew. Under sail, the Mod 42 stands out for its balance, responsiveness, and ability to maintain good performance both in cruising and racing.
The interior, refined and warm, reflects attention to detail: teak woodwork, functional layouts, and a generous living space for a sailboat of this size. The bright saloon, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable cabins make the Mod 42 an ideal companion for long sailing trips with family or friends.
In summary, this 3rd hand Camper & Nicholsons Mod 42 is a sailboat with classic charm and undeniable seafaring qualities — a true character boat, designed for sea enthusiasts and lovers of fine shipbuilding.
