The Omega 42, a distinguished sailing yacht, emerged from the design board of the legendary Swedish naval architect Peter Norlin in 1978. Built by Vindö, under their operating name Nötesunds Varv AB in Sweden, this monohull quickly carved out a reputation as a performance-oriented cruiser. Conceived during the height of the International Offshore Rule (IOR) era, Norlin's intention with the Omega 42 was to create a vessel "free from all rules," focusing instead on pure sailing enjoyment and balanced performance. Production of the Omega 42 continued until 1998, with approximately 160 units built.
