FLIGHT TIME | 42' Manta 2005

Additional Information

The details
The original Manta 38 was designed in 1993 and went into production in 1996 in St. Petersburg. The first major change to the molds increased the hulls to 40 feet and then later to 42 feet. The MK II was introduced with hull No. 82 in 2002 when the company moved to its current facility in Sarasota. The level of fit and finish was upgraded, headroom was increased and all the tweaks and twists that Reischman had developed over the years were incorporated into a complete world cruising cat.

The stout fiberglass hulls and bridgedeck are layed up with vinylester resins for the most part, cored with Corecell and vacuum bagged. The hull-and-deck joint is laminated, making it more or less leakproof. Bulkheads and subfloors are made with high-tech Nida-Core, which is strong and extremely light, and then covered with veneers. Catamaran builders are constantly searching for materials to reduce weight, and even in cruising cats, weight is the enemy.

The Manta 42 MK II uses stub keels, not daggerboards, and the fin sections are integral to the hull and give the boat a draft of just 3 feet, 8 inches. Twin rudders are made with high-density foam with a fiberglass covering. The rudderstocks are beefy 2-inch stainless steel. There are collision bulkheads with watertight compartments in the ends of each hull. Overall the quality of construction is impressive.

The deck gear is heavy duty and backed with aluminum plates molded into the deck. Stainless steel handrails are well placed on the deckhouse as you make your way forward and the molded nonskid offers good traction. Of course, cats don't heel so you are not prone to flopping about anyway. The 28-inch stanchions are well supported and when you get to the bow there are nice seats mounted on the rails.

Large lazarettes in the forward hull sections are good for fenders, or in the case of our test boat, big enough to house an eight-kilowatt generator. There are six Bowmar stainless steel deck hatches and nine stainless steel opening ports.

The fractional sailplan includes a full-batten 10.3-ounce main and the small self-tacking jib. The main has two reef points, each with a clever single line arrangement. Without sheets and leads to tweak, the Camber Spar, which is fitted inside the sail, helps maintain jib shape.
