The Atlantic 42 Catamaran, designed by the renowned multihull architect Chris White, represents a pivotal shift in performance cruising design. Unlike the vast majority of production catamarans that prioritize maximum interior volume, the Atlantic 42 was engineered for sailors who demand highspeed passagemaking and genuine windward capability. It is the smallest model in the celebrated Atlantic series, which includes the Atlantic 48, the Atlantic 55, and the modern Atlantic 47 Mastfoil. Approximately 17 of these vessels were built, primarily by Bongers Marine in South Africa and various custom yards in the United States, utilizing hightech vacuumbagged epoxy and foam core construction. The defining characteristic of the model is its innovative forward cockpit, which places the sailor at the base of the mast for unmatched sail handling and visibility, coupled with a dedicated pilothouse for protected watchkeeping.
