Just launched and ready for the 2024 season. Immaculate, loaded. Simply a beautiful example of this popular J Model.Look no further for the perfect J42 to compete and cruise on . Mistral has had only two owners and has been lovingly maintained. She comes with all the racing sail inventory and cruising sails as well as safety equipment you could possibly need.  If you are interested in off-shore racing or simply cruising as a couple or two couples the two state rooms and two heads with spacious layout down below is ideal.  Current owner designed and had built a custom folding table that is mounted to the bulk head until you need it. The original table is available also. Mistral is comfortable and yet fast with a winning history.
