Overview

About this vessel

This 1976 Palmer Johnson 42-Footer is no exception; it is nicely appointed for cruising the Great Lakes and has done so for over 20 years. The aluminum hull and deck were painted in 2008 and are still in good condition. A professional diesel mechanic rebuilt the engine entirely this last year and has receipts available. The hydraulic drive was wholly rebuilt in the previous year as well. There are loads of sails for every situation and everything you need to start your next adventure.

The current owner purchased it to be used as a summer sailing home to explore the Great Lakes. The boat was recommissioned as "Divertimento" (fun in Italian). After a summer of sailing in 2000, the boat came to rest at its new home in Kewaunee, Wisconsin. Over the next 24 years, Divertimento was completely re-done inside and out, and sailed by the family thousands of miles around the Great Lakes, Michigan, Huron, Georgian Bay and Lake Superior. The boat is currently located in Kewaunee, Wisconsin. Divertimento is a well-balanced, fast, fun, and safe boat built with integrity by one of the finest builders in the world.
