The construction of the ship is designed with seaworthiness and comfort in mind. The hull shape and underwater body are tuned for good sailing characteristics, even in heavier weather conditions.

On board, the Carter 42 offers a spacious layout with a fixed sleeping capacity for four people. Additionally, there are three extra sleeping places available, making the ship suitable for larger groups or families. The interior space is equipped with a dining area and mattresses. The layout is functional and focused on comfort during longer stays on board. The manual toilet is simple in design and located in a separate space.
Steering and Deck Equipment
The ship is steered via a wheel, located outside in the cockpit. This setup provides a good overview during sailing and maneuvering. The cockpit is spacious and offers ample seating. The deck equipment is tailored for sailing use, with multiple sails and accessories available on board. This makes the ship suitable for active sailors who value a complete setup.
Motorization and Technical Specifications
The Carter 42 is equipped with a Volvo Penta diesel engine of the inboard type. The engine has four cylinders and is started electrically. Although the year of manufacture of the engine is not specified, it is indicated that the engine is currently functioning. The fuel supply is based on diesel, which is common for sailing yachts of this size and ensures reliable propulsion during motor sailing or maneuvering in harbors.
Overall Impression and Potential
The Carter 42 offers a spacious and functional platform for sailors looking for a ship with plenty of interior space and sailing capacity. The current state of maintenance is described as moderate, which means there may be points of attention in terms of cosmetic or technical maintenance. For those interested who are willing to invest time and resources, this ship offers potential for longer journeys or stays on board.
The combination of a spacious interior, a functioning diesel engine, and a seaworthy design makes the Carter 42 an interesting project for sailors looking for a ship with character and possibilities.
