Our boat of the moment is this beautiful Sealine F42/5

The Sealine F42/5 is described by the yachting press as one of the most innovative boats to come on to the market. Is it 42ft or a 45footer? - In fact with Sealine’s extending cockpit system it’s both.

With the press of a button the transom and cockpit seat move back giving the extra 3ft of space; perfect for on-board entertaining (see our photographs).
The Flybridge area is also huge with plenty of seating and another clever use of space the helm seat can be rotated to one side when required to open up the seating area.

This boat is the 3 cabin version with the galley along one side of the saloon area creating space for a portside cabin with two bunk beds. With the use of the additional double in the saloon area this boat will sleep 8 in comfort. (The owner’s cabin forward has an en-suite and there is ample storage. The port side cabin has two single berths, a lower berth and then a fold away bunk above when required. The starboard side cabin has two single beds and en-suite access to the main heads. The saloon seating makes a further double when required.) A new mattress with memory foam top layer was fitted to owner’s cabin in 2010 and the carpets were also new in 2010.
The Alcantara dark blue upholstery in the saloon and the Eberspacher heating make the cabin spaces very comfortable.

Another point to note is that the engines are the powerful 480hp units giving a top speed of 30knots.

Steve says, “It was a pleasure to list such a nicely presented boat; looking immaculate both inside and out.”
