Evelyn 32-2 ULDB Sailboat Forum

I got this email from "firstamos" who is somewhere near Atlantic City NJ:
--------------------------
Hello members, I'm the new guy to the forum. I joined because I found this beauitful yacht in my area. Well she was sitting off the side of a comercial property for years, and I would admire her from the highway. A few weeks ago I noticed the name being changed on the property, so I decided to go in and ask about the boat. I got the new owner's number and found that the boat was left to her when her father passed. We agreed on a price and I am now making provisions to take her over. I'm talking about an Evelyn 42. The rigging is laying on the deck but there isn't much more than that and the bare boat. I'm looking foreward to a couple of years to restore her, but I need a lot of info. I will appreciate any help from the members. My first boat was a Hunter 25 1974. That was easy but I know this will be a real challenge for me.

so, chime in...does anyway have a clue as to which E42 this is?

Thanks for the message, firstamos...your account is active, so feel free to post here!

I had a 42 and I am now the proud owner of a 32.

Does the 42 you are getting have a blade keel an bulb or the original fin keel?

You'll get some great help here. There are some real 42 experts hanging around.

Hi firstamos,

I am the owner of a E42 located in Hampton, VA (formerly in the Great Lakes) Mine is in excellent shape but I haven't been able to sail her much due to a health issue. Maybe next year. You'll find this board to be very helpful and I'll be glad to share pics, dimensions etc if it will help. By the way, my boat is Pterodactyl, the boat that Jim (Pterobyte) formerly had.

Welcome to the family!

I used to sail on the E42 called Heartbeat down here in New Orleans. It had the deep fin keel, and engine mounted over the keel, much like the 32 setup. The boat was destroyed in a hurricane a few years back while in Pensacola. I wonder if they parted it out..

Does anyone know what happened to the Evelyn 42 Stainless? I saw some neat pictures of her last night after she washed up on the Maryland beach in 87'. I know the boat wasn't significantly damaged and was bought by someone.
