Niagara 42, 42 ft, 1985, L'Émeraude

Ideal for comfortable and autonomous cruising. Very stable boat at sea, made to face heavy weather. Boat that cuts the wave without hitting. Goes well in light winds (makes for example 5 knots in 10 knots wind). The engine has the necessary power and the propeller is made to advance against big winds and waves if needed.
Meticulously maintained, all recent systems. Built in Ontario in 1985 in Ste-Catherines. Designed by Mark Ellis.
