Manta 42mkii

[pelagic4005]

Hi, we are looking at a Manta 42 mkii

Any one have knowledge on what specific to look at on these?

How well will they sit on their keels drying out on a beach?

What is the construction of the front beam?

Any water issues particularly around bulkheads or windows

Thank you all

A friend full time cruised one of these for many years. They sail surprisingly well. The camber spar is great especially off the wind but does mean the headsail is hanked on. The cathedral shaped underwing eliminates slapping on all but the worst beam seas. The only issue was something to do with rudders that needed replacing can't remember for what reason.

Did you end up getting the Manta? We are currently looking at one also?
