Owner Experience Review
Owners who cruise and live aboard the 42fromSOUTHERLYdescribe a capable coastal and offshore platform with the comfort of a raised saloon. The large windows and elevated seating make watch-keeping and social time pleasant, and the interior joinery is consistently praised. Despite the keel trunk, the accommodation plan works well, with a notably good-sized master cabin, and the boat is reported to be comfortable in a seaway. For a deck-saloon design, it goes to windward well and feels responsive, a balance that owners and reviewers regard as suitable for passagemaking noted in the 2008–2009 era.
The lifting keel shapes much of the day-to-day experience. It unlocks shallow-water exploration—estuaries and canals are a common use-case—while owners accept modest trade-offs in top-end speed and pointing compared with a fixed-fin keel. Low-speed maneuvering can be a quirk, with some owners noting limited steerage until the boat has moved about a length. Maintenance is an important consideration: owners plan for annual hydraulic checks and multi‑year pennant replacement (around five years), with reports of labor-intensive keel pivot/pennant service that can require lifting the hull off the grounding plate; one owner cited about $3,200 and six days of hard work. Early-build concerns around keel-box, pivot, and fixings are discussed in forums, so buyers typically assess service history and budget accordingly.
Pros and Cons
- Raised saloon with large windows creates a comfortable social and watch-keeping space.
- Lifting keel enables shallow-water exploration of estuaries and canals.
- Capable offshore cruiser with good windward performance and responsive handling for a deck-saloon.
- Lifting-keel system requires regular hydraulic checks and periodic pennant replacement.
- Low-speed maneuverability can be limited, with little steerage until the boat gathers way.
- Some loss of top-end speed and pointing compared with a fixed-fin keel.
