  1. Hello there!

    Came across your blog when I was researching Niagara 42 for a potential purchase. I really enjoyed it.

    My wife and I want to cruise the caribbean and beyond. We have our eye on a Niagara 42 and plan to sail her on Lake Ontario (at Ganonoque) for a few years first and then take off.

    Do you have any honest advice about the boat? I would appreciate an email at dan@the-roberts.ca to hear your non-biased comments about how the boat sailed, how she was to live-aboard etc.. etc..

    Thanks!

    Dan

  2. Hello Kristina, Thanks for sharing We are currently sailing our Ontario 32 in Georgian Bay; just finishing a 4 week trip to Mackinac Island, Michigan. We are sailing with friends who are on a Niagara 35. We have been talking about the Niagara 42 and are considering a bigger boat. Can you provide us your knowledge of the 42; liveability, sailing charachteristics etc. thanks, Bob & Rosalind
