MANUFACTURER’S AND PRESS COMMENTS:

The only aft cockpit deck saloon Oyster design, the 42 moved the owner’s stateroom forward, resulting in an attractive low profile hull, and deep, safe aft cockpit. Oyster launched seven 42s between 1996 and 2002.

‘The 42’s natural advantage starts with the fact that her cockpit is well laid out. Add to this the positive and direct action of the helm, and her well balanced feel under sail, and you have a sweet, well behaved yacht which is a doddle to handle’. Yachting World.

‘The whole interior has a satisfying feeling of quality.’ Yachting Monthly.

We wish her new owners fair winds and following seas.
