Landfall 42

The Landfall 42 is a sailboat that was designed by C&C Design and first built in 1976.[1][2] The Landfall 42 was built principally for the charter trade, to compete with Morgan, Irwin, and Whitby’s models, and gained some popularity as a charter boat in the Caribbean.[3][4] The Landfall 42 was the first example of a trend within C&C Yachts toward more cruising-oriented designs under company president George Cuthbertson's direction, a trend continued with an expansion of the Landfall series during the later 1970s and early 1980s.[5]

Design

The Landfall 42 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a cutter rig, a rounded raked stem, a raised transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 21,000 lb (9,525 kg) and carries 8,800 lb (3,992 kg) of lead ballast.[1]

The boat has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1]

The boat is fitted with a British Perkins Engines 4-108 diesel engine of 50 hp (37 kW). The fuel tank holds 55 U.S. gallons (210 L; 46 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 200 U.S. gallons (760 L; 170 imp gal).[1]

The design has a hull speed of 7.34 kn (13.59 km/h).[7]

gollark: I mean, some of the issues I have would be gone without market systems, yes, but you would then introduce new much bigger ones.
gollark: No, I like that one.
gollark: The problems I have with our system are more about issues we ended up with than the entire general concept of markets.
gollark: You could complain that this is due to indoctrination of some sort by... someone, and maybe this is true (EDIT: but you could probably just change that and it would be easier than reworking the entire economy). But you can quite easily see examples of people just not actually caring about hardships far away, and I think this is a thing throughout history.
gollark: What I'm saying is that, despite some problems, our market system is pretty effective at making the things people involved in it want. And most people do not *actually* want to help people elsewhere much if it comes at cost to them.
