Martin 242

byTom Sitzmann

A small white sailboat with a bright pink sail glides on the water near a rocky coastline. Three people are on board, enjoying sunny weather. The sea is calm, and the sky is clear.The M242 is a 24-foot, high performance, family-oriented day racer and weekender. Over 250 have been built since 1981, and there are large fleets on the West Coast of Canada and the U.S. The M242 Class is unique in that it has very rigid class rules to control expense and ensure even competition.

The total sail inventory consists of a main, jib and spinnaker. The roller-furling jib dramatically simplifies boat handling and encourages family crews.

They are currently being built by MG Marine, Inc 310-645-0196,
