Sails for boats of this size are always custom built. We calculate your price based on your preferences and sailing conditions. Please call and we’ll chat about your ideal sail.
Catalina 42 mains'l offshore by Ullman. Sail is sewn with three rows of strong tri-step stitching. Sail includes, leech line, tell tales, clew block, sail bag, sail insignia, loose foot, sail numbers and Sunbrella cover on the clew. Provisions for vertical battens are not included, see Warnings & Notes for more details.
A word regarding our sail cloth:
We do not use cheap, no name fabric. We use primarily Dimension - Polyant sailcloth. Dimension is a German company with production facilities in Germany and the US. On occasion, when cloth weight demands it, we may use cloth by Contender. With head offices in the Netherlands, Contender has locations in the US and worldwide. Both companies manufacture high quality, premium Dacron sailcloth.
A longer lasting cover:
Since polyester stitching often fails long before the cover fabric, all of our Sunbrella covers are stitched using Tenara® sewing thread produced by the makers of Gortex® fabric. Though much more expensive than standard Dacron thread, it offers multiple advantages including:
• Unaffected by sunlight (it retains its strength even after extended UV exposure).
• Unaffected by extremes of hot and cold.
• Resists acid rain, salt water, and pollution.
Larger boats experience a much larger range of sailing conditions. Your sails need to be built to match your conditions. Our sails for larger Catalinas are designed-to-order based on your specific sailing style, conditions, and input. Call the team at Catalina Direct. We will put our store of Catalina knowledge and over 40 years of experience to work for you.

1) This item does not conform to the shipping table in the Shopping Cart. Additional shipping must be calculated. When you place your order we always call with a shipping quote before billing your card. For a quote in advance, just call 800/959-7245.
2) A 50% nonrefundable deposit will be billed when your order for this item is accepted. The balance will be billed when the product ships.
3) When bending on a new furling main, adjust the vang such that the end of the boom is 3" or 4" higher than the original position. Once the sail is fully deployed, go sailing and adjust the vang setting based on desired leech tension.
4) Many boats of this size have biminis that obstruct the view of the mains’l furling operation. The loft doesn’t recommend vertical battens due to possible jamming of the battens during furling and unfurling of the in-mast furling sail. Vertical battens also result in more wear when the sail is flogging (flapping or fluttering in the wind). However, if vertical battens are desired, please use add-on Z5751 for the vertical battens.
5) This is a custom made sail. You provide the information and we build it for you, exactly how you ask. Once you order it we are going to build it just for you, just as you asked. We never want to see it again, and no one else wants it either. So be careful and order it correctly the first time because it can't be canceled, returned, or magically changed into something different!
