Description
Summary2003 Chris White Atlantic 42 "Watermark"Location:Deltaville, VA |Builder:Lombardi Yachts |Price:$430,000OverviewWatermark 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.March 2026 Update: The owner has recently bought another boat that better suits their needs. He is willing to entertain reasonable offers.Recent Major Refits & UpgradesMachinery & Propulsion (Major Overhaul 2022)New Engines:Twin Yanmar 3YM30s (Installed Nov 2022)New Saildrive:SD25 Saildrive replaced (Nov 2022) Other Saildrive rebuiltPropellers:Gori 3-Blade Folding Props (June 2021)Maintenance:New motor mounts, raw water pumps, thermostats, and fuel tanks scrubbed.Electrical & Solar (New 2025)House Bank:Two new 8D AGM house batteries (Oct 2025)Solar Power:2X 240W solar panels and high-efficiency charging system (Oct 2025)Charging:New battery charging controls (2023)Sails & RiggingInventory:Dacron Main and Jib (Very Good Condition).Downwind Suite:Reacher, Runner, andAsymmetric Spinnaker .Performance:Added Spinnaker Pole and Code Zero (2023).Winches:Added Andersen 52ST Winch (2020).Electronics & NavigationPrimary GPS:Large Garmin GPS (Dec 2019).Secondary GPS:Cockpit-mounted Garmin GPS (Dec 2019).Instruments:Full B&G Instrument System (2020) with new Wind Instruments (2023).Communication:AIS Transponder, new VHF, and new VHF Antenna.Hull & DeckMaintenance:Hull painted (2021); Deck painted (2020).Bottom:Stripped and repainted (June 2021); New Zincs and Thru-hulls (2020).Rudders:Updated rudder design installed Feb 2020.Ground Tackle:New Anchor Windlass (2020).Interior & ComfortWatermaker:Little Village added in March 2023 for long-range autonomy.Plumbing:All faucets replaced (2021); Sanitary plumbing fully replaced (Oct 2025); Toilets rebuilt (2023).Aesthetics:Refinished flooring throughout (2023).Safety:Rebuilt LP locker (2023).Extras:2015 WM 310 RIB with 8hp Mercury 2 stroke.

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."DisclaimerThe Company offers the details of this vessel in good faith but cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of this information nor warrant the condition of the vessel.
