This Doug Peterson designed Baltic DP 42 cruiser-racer style yacht has been beautifully maintained throughout and constantly upgraded and improved upon with easy cruising for a couple in mind. Her spacious accommodations and well-planned layout make her the perfect yacht for day sailing/entertaining, offshore racing or extended cruising. For the past 12 years. she has been extensively cruised around the freshwater of Lake Superior.
Primera Vista is stable, fast and seaworthy and ready to take her next owners on new adventures.
The teak decks have been removed and the deck inspected, repaired as needed, faired and painted with Awlgrip. All hardware was re-bedded at that time as well.
She has a custom winter cover for the off-season storage months.
Primera Vista is able to be relocated via transport truck with her keel on.
