Martin 242

Martin 242

Need a HOT boat to Race? Proven winner in Oriental, NC, with multiple top 3 finishes in local regattas, and overall PHRF class winner in 2012. Faster than many much larger local race boats both upwind and downwind

This Martin 242 is one of the best examples of a used boat and probably the only one available on the East Coast. Great PHRF boat that is easy to sail to its PHRF rating of 156. The hull has a fine entry making it easily driven and a dream to sail upwind in a chop. Light loads with little need for winches and well balanced finger tip control make this boat easily sailed by 1 and can be raced effectively with 2-4 crew. It has a spacious cabin compared to other boats in this size and includes bunk and v-berth cushions.

In addition to many upgrades, this boat also includes new Ullman main and jib as well as a new Honda 2.3HP-4 stroke motor. Complete and ready to race or fast day sailing.
