Opposite the galley is a seating area with an entertainment-sized table. The seating area can also be used as a good sea berth. There is a washer/dryer and a separate freezer. The wonderful pilothouse salon provides excellent 360-degree visibility from a very comfortable Stidd helm chair. Some of the unique features of this area include a comfortable helm seat with full instrumentation, large windows with custom wood blinds for privacy. The convertible table provides an additional single berth, a custom flat screen TV in the ceiling, and large Nav-Table behind the helm. There is easy access to the aft cabin with a double berth and more storage. Her interior is Costa Rican teak woodwork and is built to a standard rarely seen today, and is in fantastic condition, creating a warm, dry, and inviting place to seek shelter from the elements. The aft cabin is built for the cruising couple with plenty of storage and a great workshop.


The Cabo Rico 42 Pilothouse has a large user-friendly T-shaped cockpit with port and starboard seating and a built-in helm seat. There is a large sail locker to port with excellent access to the generator. The aft deck has port and starboard propane lockers and a large lazarette.

Sails & Rigging

The cutter rig configuration keeps the sail size modest. With the Genoa and Staysail all on furlers, all foresails can be doused without going forward. The in-boom furling allows infinite adjustment of the mainsail size again without leaving the security of the cockpit. There is an electric halyard winch. While this is a heavy, powerful boat, sail handling will not require much in the way of brawn. This vessel is equipped with an aluminum double spreader mast with oversized wire rope rigging. It features a clipper bow with furling headsail, furling staysail and a second removable staysail (in storage); hank on staysail, running backstays; and a boom furling main. All control lines lead aft to the cockpit.
