JFA Petrel 42 - A Bi-Saffron Safran sailboat by JFA signed

Designed and designed by Dominique Presles, built in 1998 by the French shipyard JFA, the Petrel 42 belongs to this family of traveling sailboats designed for the sea, without concession on the robustness. Twelve meters eighty from hull in strip planking, three cabins, six berths: this program is for crews who want to go far, long, with a boat capable of collecting the distance. Replacement in 2019 of the entire Sparcraft Performance rigging: Mat, boom, dormant rigging and current rigging presented under the French flag, displayed at €119,000 including tax.

Construction and marine qualities

The strip planking shell, a brand of high-end travel units, combines rigidity, insulation and longevity. With 12.80 m in length, 4.00 m in width and 9,000 kg of movement, the Petrel 42 offers a balanced and reassuring platform. The lifting keel allows you to pass the draft from 3m to 1.50m and opens access to shallow anchorages and coastal navigation areas such as large crossings. The rigging is served by a full wardrobe — Full Batten on rail and cart, genoa, yankee, staysail, torment and two spies with socks — with boom equipped with Lazy Jacks and Lazy Bag, Pataras, dormant and running rigging, and two electric Harken winches to easily maneuver with a reduced crew.

Motorization and electronics

Propulsion is provided by 2 yanmar 3gm30f of 27 hp, 3 cylinder, original 1998 (2,950 hours port), (3,780 hours starboard), transmission by shaft line and three-blade Gori propeller. Cruise speed of 6 knots for an announced consumption of 2 l/h, peak at 14 knots, with 400 liters of diesel and 700 liters of fresh water: a range cut for the trip. The electronics were completely renewed in 2024 around a B&G suite, supplemented by a fleet of lithium batteries and two Victron solar panels.
