SIMPSON 42 (rates)
Roger Simpson designed this cat with comfortable cruising in mind. An in-boom furling main with electric halyard winch and self tacking headsail make sail handling easy, while the two 50hp Yanmar diesels will get you to your destination quickly when the wind fails.
Below, the four cabins, two with queen size double berths and two with twin bunks allow large families to cruise in comfort. There is a head and shower in each hull. A large saloon seats eight, and the galley is down to port, but open to the saloon so those cooking can still take part in the pre-dinner conversation! A solid dodger shelters the forward half of the cockpit while extendable covers give complete enclosure when needed.
