The Atlantic 42 is a sailor's Catamaran

Article Abstract:

Lombardi Yachts' Atlantic 42 has a large sail area due to its huge spinnaker and full-battened main. The boat, costing $375,000, can sail from eight to 12 knots in upwind mode in a moderate breeze. Atlantic 42's spacious cockpit, located infront of the pilothouse, is the boat's most outstanding feature.
