CREPUSCULO

CREPUSCULO, the President 42 Performance Trawler, is a well-regarded yacht known for its classic styling, practical layout, and solid build quality. It's a popular choice for those seeking a comfortable and capable cruising boat with a blend of trawler characteristics and some performance features.

The President 42 features a timeless design with a focus on spaciousness and functionality, built on a semi-displacement hull, which allows for both efficient cruising at lower speeds and the ability to achieve higher speeds when desired. The interior is known for its generous salon with large windows, ample natural light, and well-appointed living spaces.

With her meticulously crafted cherry interior and modern, adjustable and thoughtfully placed lighting fixtures, the Signature Edition President 42 Performance Trawler features warm, inviting, high-headroom spaces throughout. The light and airy main saloon provides a spacious, gracious venue for socializing or relaxing. Large windows make for panoramic views and practical ventilation. Stylish wooden blinds create privacy when privacy is called for. Built-in furnishings include an L-shaped convertible settee, a high-low expandable burl table, an enclosed TV locker, and wonderfully detailed custom cabinetry. The salon sole is solid teak. Easy access to the covered side decks, port and starboard, is through tight-sealing, jetliner-style doors.

Forward to starboard in the salon, a loveseat helm provides a comfortable, efficient control station and vantage point for the skipper. The convenient galley to port in the salon features a durable Corian countertop, double stainless steel sink, Force 10 three-burner propane stove with oven, microwave, large capacity refrigerator and freezer, plus ample storage for provisions and other essentials.

Forward of the salon and two steps down, a guest stateroom includes a queen-sized berth, fully lined cedar hanging locker, a vanity with mirror, TV cabinet and enclosed private head and shower. Drawers and lockers abound, echoing the style and quality of the salon cabinetry. There's handsome carpet underfoot. A unique, solid wood, sliding enclosure offers complete separation and privacy from the salon.

The expansive, luxurious master stateroom lies aft of the salon, a few steps down behind another solid, sliding enclosure. With a long, queen-sized, walk-around berth as its centerpiece, this carpeted cabin offers a huge cedar-lined hanging locker space as part of a complete array of storage options. Opening ports and hatches flood the space with air and light. Aft to port, cleverly designed stairs provide access to a walk-through hatch opening onto the after deck. The complete head with its separate shower completes the suite.

Accessible through the forward stateroom or the large hatches in the salon sole, the ingeniously organized engine room features bright lighting, 5'7" headroom, plenty of space to maneuver, easy access to service points, and even a built in workbench with tool storage.

The President 42's deck seems custom made for Northwest cruising. Wide walk-around side and aft decks provide secure passage on non-skid surfaces protected by high bulwarks and sturdy stainless steel railings. There's a rugged pulpit forward of the electric windlass. Access to docks or dinghy is eased by midship bulwark doors port and starboard and by a transom door leading to the spacious swim platform. Two deck lockers in the platform provide plenty of storage and another conceals a folding swim ladder.

The aft trunk cabin top adds recreational and relaxing space to the generous flybridge. With a wrap-around venturi providing protection from the wind, skipper and guests are comfortably arrayed on the flybridge on a dual, reversible-position helm seat and two other lounges. A convenient wet bar with storage and wired for an icemaker adds to the party possibilities. The helm features full engine instrumentation and an attractive dash for added gear of your choosing. Whether underway or at anchor, this yacht is comfortable and pleasant to be aboard.
