Manta 42 Best Value
Dec 7, 2000

By Cruising World Staff

The Best Value award is drawn from the entire fleet of 26 boats. The prize goes to a boat that offers solid engineering in the hull construction, sail plan, and systems; lots of volume in 42 feet times two hulls; and a price tag of $255,000—more than $100,000 shy of this year’s average. Congratulations to Pat Reischmann and the Manta 42 catamaran, built in Largo, Florida.
