It is perhaps the quintessential bluewater globetrotter, a success built in over 250 units, many of which have sailed far and wide, everywhere. Designed by the brilliant Rassy and Enderlein, the 42 (E) was a must-have for those seeking a boat capable of anything, an elegant, clean, and comfortable hull like few others. Initially produced only as a ketch, it later became a sloop towards the final production phases. A cult classic.
