1995 Fountaine Pajot Venezia 42

A highly successful model, the Venezia 42 was launched in 1992 and remained in production until 2000. Nearly 200 Venezias were built. Immediately recognizable for its enduring good looks, owing in part to the trend-setting extended visor, which adds to the sleek, futuristic profile while shielding the salon from harsh sunlight.

Truly a cruising cat, the hulls have a narrow entry and nearly-plumb bows, resulting in a waterline length of 41 feet. Sturdy and heavily-built by catamaran standards, the Venizia boasts a substantial bridgedeck at just over 27 feet long, which gives the boat rigidity and accounts for some of the weight.

The Venezia's hulls are a sandwich construction with vacuum bagged PVC foam cores. The outer skins are hand-laid fiberglass with isophthalic polyester resin. The core is then bonded with regularly-spaced couplers, linking the two skins into a single, sturdy unit. The fiberglass sculpting is superb and the molded-in non-skid is very effective. 

Loki’s previous owners cruised her extensively throughout Central and South America. This proven cruising catamaran is now available due to life circumstances. If you’re looking for a beautiful, solidly-performing sailing cat, Loki should be at the top of your list. Contact the seller’s agent to schedule a private viewing. 

Board Loki via one of the hull sterns, ascending wide steps with handholds on either side, to the main deck. Once there, you can move forward or laterally with ease due to the intelligent, full-walk-around deck, without having to pass through the cockpit. Moving forward, generous side decks with double lifelines and handholds make for safe, easy access to the foredeck.
