ABOUT THE BOAT The Martin 242 is a 24-foot racing sailboat introduced in 1980, known for its lightweight design, speed, and materials, making it fast in light winds. Popular in the Pacific Northwest, the boat excels in 8-12 knot winds and has a strong one-design racing class presence, especially in regions like Washington State and Vancouver Island.
At 24 feet, it offers a compact size that is easy to handle, particularly in light winds, and is well-suited for weekend getaways or short coastal trips. The interior is minimalistic, featuring two quarter berths and a V-berth, which provides basic accommodations for a small crew, but it lacks the space and comfort typically found in larger cruising sailboats. This boat comes with a cooler and small head (never used!).
