Landfall 42

The Landfall 42 is a sailboat that was designed by C&C Design and first built in 1976.[1][2] The Landfall 42 was built principally for the charter trade, to compete with Morgan, Irwin, and Whitby's models, and gained some popularity as a charter boat in the Caribbean.[3][4] The Landfall 42 was the first example of a trend within C&C Yachts toward more cruising-oriented designs under company president George Cuthbertson's direction, a trend continued with an expansion of the Landfall series during the later 1970s and early 1980s.[5]

Design

The Landfall 42 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a cutter rig, a rounded raked stem, a raised transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 21,000 lb (9,525 kg) and carries 8,800 lb (3,992 kg) of lead ballast.[1]

The boat has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1]

The boat is fitted with a British Perkins Engines 4-108 diesel engine of 50 hp (37 kW). The fuel tank holds 55 U.S. gallons (210 L; 46 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 200 U.S. gallons (760 L; 170 imp gal).[1]

The design has a hull speed of 7.34 kn (13.59 km/h).[7]
