Wauquiez 42PS Interior? Similar boats?

[Jonathan Hansen]

My wife and I own a 46 '"true" deck salon (you can see the waterline from sitting in either the port or starboard settees) with two heads with standing showers, one port, one starboard. She has 350 gallon fuel and 300 gallon water tanks fiberglassed into the hulls below the waterline (surveyor informed us that the tanks will outlive us). The tanks, when full, add 5000 lbs to the 8000 lbs of lead ballast, plus provide hull ingress protection if ever holed. She has a full keel with cut out forefoot and a large canted rudder with 4" rudder post. The hull is one piece with lead inserted, so not at risk of losing the keel due to corroded bolts (there are non).

She is solid, built like a tank but sails like a dream, and will bash through 12 - 15 foot breaking seas in 35+ knots headwinds under power - at average speeds of 7+ knots at 1800 rpm using 1 1/4 gallons per hour. No B.S. - we have done this numerous times.

'Molly J' is a highly modified version of what started life as a Cal 2-46, designed by William Lapworth, designer of the Cal 40, and is in our humble opinion, the ultimate cruising 46' sailboat.

We have her 'leisurely' listed for sale through Tom Murray of La Paz Yachts. If you are interested in learning more please contact me (Jon Hansen) at 'svmollyj@yahoo.com' or contact Tom Murray at:

Interior looks nice. I like either classic designs (spirit but way too expensive) or modern. Your boat is right in the middle. I hope she's very leisurely listed because you're at over double any other listed price for that boat.

One would presume under the companionway.

She doesn’t appear in yachtworld.com search for me. Shame, because the la Paz website photo reproduction isn’t doing you any favours. Unless of course by ‘leisurely’ sale you mean you’re not really wanting to sell her, which I can understand.

I’m in the market for a pilot house sailboat, and with that protected cockpit molly j could be a poor man’s pilot house. I agree that many yachts described as deck saloon are nothing of the kind.

Sadly she’s out of my budget.

The engine is under the sink in the galley. Starboard access is through the cabinet doors under the galley sink for changing the oil filters (full flow filter plus Frantz by pass filter) plus fresh water access to the Bowmar heat exchanger. For all other access (injectors, raw water pump, throttle and transmission linkage, Walker Air Sep closed crankcase air filter, etc.) there is a standing height engine room (6' by 6' by 4'0) port side, accessible through a full length door in the master stateroom head. A 4 kw Westerbeke diesel generator is also on the port side of the engine room underneath the work bench and vise. Fourteen inch deep cabinets in the engine room are for storage of tools and spare parts.

To see photos that haven't been cut off the bottom half go to yachtworld.com and choose english, plus used sailboat, show the make as a Cal, length 46' only (so 46' to 46'). List vintage 1970 - 2000). Leave the price blank (and yes, I am aware that the price is more than double the next listing). That should work. Also to clarify, "Leisure sell" means no hurry to find the right buyer, or maybe that the right buyer will be the one that finds her. It may also mean that she won't be selling her anytime soon, as we are very much living the dream on her currently down in Isla Navidad Resort and Marina, Colima, MX (
