1982 CHB 42' Magic Dragon

The boat may be boarded via either port and starboard entrance gates adjacent the pilothouse doors via custom MarQuipt boarding steps, or via the swim platform and transom door. Here you are greeted with one of the many design elements that Jim Krogen got right on this boat, namely a spacious, deep, covered cockpit. The cockpit sole provides access to a large lazarette for gear stowage. Covered, deep, and secure sidedecks provide safe and secure passage fore ’n aft.

Entering the salon via double doors, you are greeted with a spacious area for dining and relaxing. Superb woodwork is everywhere and contributes to the warm feel of the space. This area is furnished with two reclining chairs to port and a settee to starboard with an entertainment center aft on the starboard side. Large sliding windows port and starboard provide ample light and ventilation.

Next to starboard and forward is the well updated and equipped galley. To port is a ladderwell to the pilothouse. It is well equipped and updated with ample chart storage and numerous lockers for additional storage. Port and starboard sliding doors provide ready access to the sidedecks as well as light and ventilation. The door hatches are equipped with custom screens as are the pilothouse windows for privacy and heat reduction.

Access to the living quarters is via the midship companionway leading forward from the salon. A washer dryer combo is installed to port. Next, forward and to port is the head with an Air Head composting toilet and custom built shower. To starboard is the guest stateroom. With its Pullman style upper berth, this space can provide an ideal office area if guests are not embarked.

Moving forward to the master stateroom, the berth with custom mattress is to starboard, with a large hanging locker and drawers to port. Nine large drawers beneath the berth provide copious storage. Moving forward gives access to the second head. This area features a custom sink and granite countertop and shower. There is ample storage. Furthest forward is the anchor chain locker.

Back in the cockpit, a ladder provides access to the boat deck and flybridge. The flybridge is noteworthy for its raised helm platform which is 24” higher than the standard Krogen 42, providing excellent visibility all ‘round. The flybridge helm is fully equipped with upgraded electronics and a new instrument panel. The flybridge base provides the propane locker and voluminous storage areas.

Back down on deck, sidedeck ladderwells port and starboard provide access to the foredeck and pulpit. An inviting bench seat just forward of the pilothouse provides storage underneath. Ground tackle and windlass are beefy and easily accessible via the reinforced pulpit.

MAGIC DRAGON represents an incredible opportunity for the serious trawler buyer. She has been well cared for and upgraded by her remarkably diligent owners. They are proactive and thorough caretakers, and they are meticulous record keepers. In addition to keeping a detailed cruising log with the usual associated entries, they have kept a thoroughly detailed maintenance log that documents every action that has been taken on the vessel. At last count there were 561 documented maintenance actions taken since 2008. Each entry details what was done, when, by whom, and what parts were used. The spreadsheet contains multiple tabs outlining spares, spares locations, associated vendors and sources of supply, and digitized OEM manuals. I’ve quite simply never seen this level of detail on a recreational vessel. These records not only document past care, but the real importance and value of this is that her new owners will have a very solid baseline from which to operate. It will help to eliminate what often amounts to the ‘treasure hunt’ and ‘mystery’ challenges new owners of 30+ year old vessels commonly face.

MAGIC DRAGON is currently in the water, fully commissioned, and needs only your stores to be ready for sea. Contact the listing broker to arrange a showing.
