The Cabo Rico 42, which measures 46.6 with her impressive bowsprit, is one of the finest offshore sailing vessels ever built, named one of the Top Ten best sailboats in the world – the only one to meet the definition of an ultimate bluewater cruiser.  Elation lives up to her name and reputation.  She handles with an incredibly smooth and gentle motion on all points of sail.  She is set up for easy handling with a Schaefer roller furling boom, new Schaefer genoa and stay sail furlers and Lewmar electric winches for easy solo or couple sailing.  Living accommodations are luxurious befitting a world-class yacht with beautiful teak interior.   

Built in 2005, Elation is one of the last Cabo Rico 42s built. The Cabo Rico 42, designed by Chuck Paine, was awarded Sail Magazine's "ultimate bluewater boat" prize in 2000  and was named one of the top 10 best sailboats in the world -the only boat to meet their definition of an ultimate bluewater boat. Elation has been gently sailed, well maintained and fully equipped for bluewater cruising and is being offered by her second owners in time for the southern migration.

Straightforward in layout, the overall feel of the interior is one of useable comfort. The designer interior is beautiful, rich, plantation grown Costa Rican teak hardwood. There seems to be an unending supply of lockers and cabinets, all securely latched and accessible. Twelve opening ports plus a large forward hatch and extra-large main hatch all with screens, combined with fans throughout ensure Elation stays cool through the hot months with air conditioning needed only when docked where there is minimal air flow. There is 6’5” headroom throughout the cabin. The aft stateroom has an oversize double bed, hanging locker, multiple shelves and drawers with additional storage under the berth. The forward statement has a large V-berth with ample storage, drawers and large storage space under the berth with a hanging locker just outside the door. The head features a separate shower stall, teak medicine closet and Raritan head. Drawers and lockers are abundant in the forward cabin and passageway. The main salon features a settee to starboard, lockers with louvered doors line the hull sides, A simple slide out extension coverts the dinette to a comfortable double. The navigation table is compact. Instruments surround the navigation station. The electrical panels are extensive; well labeled, user friendly, complete and expertly finished. The neighboring countertop in the galley has a large horizontal surface for spreading charts flat over the dry storage locker. The galley is complete, with plenty of space for food and dishes. The deep refrigerator is well insulated, with new Cool Blue compressor. The countertops in the galley and head are Corian.
