This 1976 Palmer Johnson 42-Footer is no exception, nicely appointed for cruising the Great Lakes and has done so for over 20 years. The aluminum hull and deck were painted in 2008 and are still in good condition. A professional diesel mechanic rebuilt the engine entirely this last year and has receipts. The hydraulic drive was wholly rebuilt in the previous year as well. There are loads of sails for every situation and everything you need to start your next adventure.

Equipment:

• Ray Marine E-120 Chart Plotter (Great Lakes Charts)
• Radar
• Depth Sounder,
• GPS
• Type 2 Auto Pilot (wireless) and AIS.

The Galley has a gas stove/oven, refrigerator/freezer,

microwave and kitchen utensils.

The electrical system has 2 x 8D batteries (new 2024),

Solar panel, 2000-watt inverter/charger with full electrical panel.

There is an inflatable Dinghy with an outboard motor.

Sleeps - 7 in salon, forward stateroom, and aft stateroom.

Custom-made cradle, which can be pulled behind a car w/o the boat.

The current owner purchased it to be used as a summer sailing home

to explore the Great Lakes. The boat was recommissioned as "Divertimento" (fun in Italian).

After a summer of sailing in 2000, the boat came to rest at its new home in Kewaunee,

Wisconsin. Over the next 24 years, Divertimento was completely re-done inside and out; and

sailed by the Davis family thousands of miles around the Great Lakes (Michigan, Huron,

Georgian Bay and Superior). The boat is currently located in Kewaunee, Wisconsin.

Divertimento is a well-balanced, fast, fun, and safe boat built with integrity by one of the finest

builders in the world.
