The Cascade 42 HS represents the final evolution of the legendary 42foot hull designed by Robert A. Smith for Yacht Constructors, Inc. Building upon the reputation of the original Cascade 42—a vessel renowned for its "bulletproof" handlaid fiberglass construction—the HS (High Side) variant was introduced in 1987 to modernize the design’s interior volume and stability. By widening the beam from 11’2” to 12’ and increasing the freeboard by 12 to 14 inches, the builders transformed a narrow, traditional deepsea cruiser into a voluminous liveaboard capable of sustained bluewater voyaging. The vessel remains a hallmark of Pacific Northwest boatbuilding, characterized by a resintoglass ratio that prioritizes structural integrity over weight savings, making it a preferred choice for sailors prioritizing safety in highlatitude or offshore conditions.
