Design

The US 42 is a recreational

reverse transom; a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 24,000 lb (10,886 kg) and carries 10,500 lb (4,763 kg) of ballast.[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 6.58 ft (2.01 m) with the standard keel.[1][2]

The boat is fitted with a British Motor Corporation diesel engine of 60 hp (45 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 70 U.S. gallons (260 L; 58 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 150 U.S. gallons (570 L; 120 imp gal).[1][2]

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with an angled double berth in the bow cabin, an L-shaped settee and a straight settee in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the starboard side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is U-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner stove and a double sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side and includes a shower. Cabin headroom is 76 in (193 cm).[1][2]

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.[1][2]

The design has a hull speed of 7.64 kn (14.15 km/h).[2]
