In 2005 we purchased our brand new 42 Hunter Deck Salon. Lots of storage. Two huge births. Two heads with showers. 6.7 knots using 3/4 gal of diesel per hour. Gen set using 1/2 gal per hour.
We really enjoyed the boat each year leaving Florida in June and spending the summers up the east coast to the Long Island area or up the Hudson. Martha’s Vineyard, Newport and the like.
Then in 2013 we got “Stuck” on the ICW several places due to high water. Our mast would not clear the fixed 65’ bridges. Rising sea levels made keeping our sailboat impractical. And no, we don’t like blue water sailing in the dark.
So now we have an air draft of 13’. Life is good.
