Felicità (formerly Sea Angel) is a 2006 Catalina 42 Mark II cutter-rigged sailboat well outfitted for cruising. She has a 56 HP Yanmar diesel engine, lots of storage for water and fuel, two heads and three berths (although we turned one into a garage). She is equipped with a CruiseRO watermaker, 1100 watts of solar power, several radios, and a bunch of safety gear.
Our friend, John Kretschmer, wrote a review of the Catalina 42 for Sailing Magazine and his stamp of approval as we were shopping bolstered our confidence when we wrote the check.
