Lacoste 42
10 / 54 - score 58%
The Lacoste 42 is a 42.17ft masthead sloop designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built in fiberglass by Yachting France (FRA) between 1985 and 1991.
50 units have been built.
The Lacoste 42 is a light sailboat which is a good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a good water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
