The Ferretti Altura 42 represents a pivotal era in Italian yachting history, marking the transition of the Ferretti brand from its origins as a small boat builder to a global leader in luxury vessels. Launched in the late 1970s and produced into the early 1980s, the Altura 42 was designed as a high-end motorsailer, blending the seaworthiness of a traditional ketch-rigged cruiser with the comfort and engine power typically associated with motor yachts. Built with a heavy hand-laid fiberglass hull and a distinctive center-cockpit layout, the 42 was the flagship of the Altura sailing range, which included the smaller Altura 33 and the later, more modern Altura 422 and Altura 52.
