Summary
2003 Chris White Atlantic 42 "Watermark"
Location:Deltaville, VA |Builder:Lombardi Yachts |Price:$430,000
Overview
Watermark is a rare, meticulously maintained example of the legendary Atlantic 42 performance catamaran. Built by the respectedLombardi Yachts, she embodies the Chris White philosophy of speed, safety, and ease of handling.
Unlike many vessels of this vintage, Watermark has undergone a comprehensive refit and continuous upgrade cycle from 2019 through 2025. Withnew Yanmar engines (2022), updated saildrives, and a complete electronics/power overhaul, she is a "turn-key" offshore machine. Since 2022, she has been dry-sailed, preserving the hull and machinery in top-tier condition.

Brokers Comments
"Watermark is a stand-out Atlantic 42. The combination of Lombardi craftsmanship and the owner's 'no-expense-spared' approach to upgrades makes this one of the most capable performance cruisers on the market today. The 2022 Yanmar repower and 2025 electrical upgrades remove the most common 'old boat' headaches, leaving the next owner to simply enjoy the 15-knot speeds Chris White designs are famous for."
