Sangaris is a superbly maintained and extensively upgraded example of the highly regarded Manta 42 Mk-II owner's version catamaran. Originally built as the Manta showboat for the 2005 and 2006 Annapolis Boat Shows, she was outfitted with every available factory option and finished with premium materials including Swanstone countertops, teak trim, and cherry cabinetry.

Accommodations
This is an owner's version layout featuring a spacious owner’s stateroom with a queen berth and private en-suite head on the port side. The starboard hull includes a second queen stateroom, a single berth forward, and a shared head, all with large cedar-lined hanging lockers, generous drawer storage, and Swanstone countertops with separate shower enclosures. Both hulls are lined with built-in cabinetry, bookcases, and additional storage. A Splendide washer/dryer is installed in the starboard companionway. All interior woodwork is finished in teak, cherry, and ash, with Sunbrella upholstery and synthetic teak-and-holly soles throughout. Hatches are fitted with retracting Oceanair screens and shades.

The bridge-deck main salon features a large L-shaped settee with a Swanstone dining table, adjacent to a well-equipped galley that includes a ForceTen three-burner propane stove and oven, a top-loading 10-cubic-foot Adler-Barbour refrigerator/freezer, and abundant cabinetry. A dedicated navigation station with storage and a custom AC/DC electrical panel is located opposite the galley. Beneath the settee are the Mastervolt CombiMaster inverter/charger, new battery bank, forward Cruisair A/C unit, and AB refrigeration compressor. An entertainment center is positioned above a large hanging wet locker inside the cockpit entry, which features both a watertight Bomar Lexan door and a retracting Phantom screen.

The helm station features a Pompano Elite helmsman chair with footrest, offering unobstructed 360-degree visibility and access to all key controls and lines. A single electric/manual Harken winch handles all sail controls—including halyards, sheets, and reef lines—while a second manual winch handles spinnaker gear. The forward isinglass panels were replaced in 2024, and the layout is optimized for true single-handed sailing.
Sails & Rig
The rig includes a full-batten Doyle mainsail (10.3oz high-modulus dacron) with lazy jacks and integrated reefing lines, all led to the helm. The self-tacking Doyle jib (8.3oz dacron) is mounted on a Camber Spar with a jib downhaul system. Line management is handled through Harken deck organizers, sheet stoppers, and dedicated line bags, with all spinnaker control lines led aft to a separate cockpit winch. Sail area totals 833 square feet, and the mast height is 59’6” above the waterline.
