1986 Niagara 42
Overview
Hinterhoeller’s Niagara yachts carry a distinctly Canadian sailing heritage, combining purposeful cruising designs with the warmth and character that make a boat feel like a home afloat. Built in Ontario, the Niagara 42 brings that tradition to life with graceful proportions and an inviting presence—a yacht for sailors who enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
Designed by Mark Ellis, the Niagara 42 pairs a versatile cutter rig with a fin keel and spade rudder. Her appeal lies in the balance between an engaging sailing experience and the comforts of a substantial cruising yacht. Imagine a rewarding afternoon under sail, dinner aboard after finding a sheltered anchorage, and a quiet morning with no reason to hurry back to the dock. For buyers drawn to classic design, the Niagara 42 offers plenty to appreciate.
Good Medicine is an example that benefits from several improvements that make time aboard more comfortable: a full cockpit enclosure approximately two years old, forward and aft air-conditioning units replaced approximately five years ago, and a genoa of similar age. In-mast furling, solar charging, a reported 680 Ah house battery bank, and on-demand hot water add practical cruising appeal. The owner reports annual engine oil servicing and owner-performed winterization. With identified maintenance items to address, including running rigging, radar and a VacuFlush fault, she offers an appealing opportunity to make a characterful cruising yacht your own—and start planning the next harbour.
