Najam plovila u Italija · Lagoon 42 in Sardinia / Portisco / Cala dei Sardi — “Arca 42” — (2024)

Three double cabins, each with its own bathroom, make the Arca 42 a practical home for a group of ten. The owner's cabin sits aft in the port hull, with the two guest cabins forward and in the starboard hull, so couples and friends can have privacy without walking through shared space. Each cabin has a bathroom with a separate shower, and the saloon opens to a large cockpit where the table and seating lend themselves to long lunches and sundowners. The foredeck and the twin trampolines between the hulls give guests a place to sit with the sea moving beneath them, while the open bridge deck keeps the boat easy to move around in. Two hulls explain much of what this boat offers. A catamaran stays level at anchor, so the saloon and cabins stay comfortable even when the wind shifts overnight. The shallow draught lets you take the boat into bays and onto beaches that deeper monohulls cannot reach, and the wide beam gives a group or a family room to spread out without crowding one another. From Portisco, the Arca 42 puts a lot of the northeast coast of Sardinia within a day's reach. Cala dei Sardi is close at hand, and the granite islands of the La Maddalena archipelago are a short passage away, with their clear anchorages and sheltered coves. Over a week you can plan a route that mixes sailing with stops at quiet beaches, and return to the base each evening or push further north as the weather allows.
