You're going to love the P42. Great boat, easy to sail, stiff and fast. We purchased our 1991 model year in 2002 and have cruised her thousands of miles all over PNW waters. At some point I'd like to hear how she is equipped.He wished all SBO sailors a thank you for helping with the start of their new cruising life.
1. Does she have midship cleats? Ours did not and I added them to help with solo docking and handling.
2. How about a Genset? Very handy for extended cruises. Ours came with an Onan 8KW three cylinder Kubota diesel. Keeps the house bank up as well as cooking and heating water while on the hook.
3. Heat pumps? Ours came with two, One for the aft cabin and one for the main and forward cabins. Great for heating and cooling the boat. Need the Genset for that purpose.
4. Furnace? Probably do not need one that far south but around here very handy for keeping the boat warm during our off season cruises.
Made several other mods to make her more comfortable.
