Sangaris is a superbly maintained and extensively upgraded example of the highly regarded Manta 42 Mk-II owner's version catamaran. Originally built as the Manta showboat for the 2005 and 2006 Annapolis Boat Shows, she was outfitted with every available factory option and finished with premium materials including Swanstone countertops, teak trim, and cherry cabinetry. Designed for serious bluewater cruising, Sangaris has been updated with major systems upgrades in 2024 and 2025, making her truly turnkey and ready to sail anywhere today.
Recent Upgrades:
In 2024, Sangaris was completely repowered with twin Volvo Penta D1-30 engines, new saildrives, transmissions, folding props, and line cutters—all under warranty through February 2029. As of early 2025, both engines have approximately 400 hours. Electrical upgrades include the installation of two new 550-watt solar panels (1,100 watts total) with smart controllers, along with a brand-new battery bank consisting of six Trojan T-145 house batteries and two marine starter batteries. Additional 2025 upgrades include a factory-rebuilt 18-gallon-per-hour EchoTec watermaker, a new Maxwell 1500 windlass, and a new 15HP Suzuki dinghy outboard with electric start and lithium battery. The bottom was fully sanded, prepped, and painted with multiple coats in November 2024.
This is an owner's version layout featuring a spacious owner’s stateroom with a queen berth and private en-suite head on the port side. The starboard hull includes a second queen stateroom, a single berth forward, and a shared head, all with large cedar-lined hanging lockers, generous drawer storage, and Swanstone countertops with separate shower enclosures. Both hulls are lined with built-in cabinetry, bookcases, and additional storage. A Splendide washer/dryer is installed in the starboard companionway. All interior woodwork is finished in teak, cherry, and ash, with Sunbrella upholstery and synthetic teak-and-holly soles throughout. Hatches are fitted with retracting Oceanair screens and shades.
The bridge-deck main salon features a large L-shaped settee with a Swanstone dining table, adjacent to a well-equipped galley that includes a ForceTen three-burner propane stove and oven, a top-loading 10-cubic-foot Adler-Barbour refrigerator/freezer, and abundant cabinetry. A dedicated navigation station with storage and a custom AC/DC electrical panel is located opposite the galley. Beneath the settee are the Mastervolt CombiMaster inverter/charger, new battery bank, forward Cruisair A/C unit, and AB refrigeration compressor. An entertainment center is positioned above a large hanging wet locker inside the cockpit entry, which features both a watertight Bomar Lexan door and a retracting Phantom screen.

The cockpit is protected by Manta’s exclusive full aluminum enclosure and fiberglass hardtop with integrated radar arch. It includes two full sets of Strataglass and screen roll-up panels, an 8-foot-wide couch across the radar arch, and a welded dinghy/kayak davit system. The helm station features a Pompano Elite helmsman chair with footrest, offering unobstructed 360-degree visibility and access to all key controls and lines. A single electric/manual Harken winch handles all sail controls—including halyards, sheets, and reef lines—while a second manual winch handles spinnaker gear. The forward isinglass panels were replaced in 2024, and the layout is optimized for true single-handed sailing.
The rig includes a full-batten Doyle mainsail (10.3oz high-modulus dacron) with lazy jacks and integrated reefing lines, all led to the helm. The self-tacking Doyle jib (8.3oz dacron) is mounted on a Camber Spar with a jib downhaul system. Line management is handled through Harken deck organizers, sheet stoppers, and dedicated line bags, with all spinnaker control lines led aft to a separate cockpit winch. Sail area totals 833 square feet, and the mast height is 59’6” above the waterline.
The hull, deck, and internal structures are built using vacuum-bagged triaxial, biaxial, and unidirectional fiberglass with Divinycell and Nida-Core for strength, stiffness, and weight reduction. The bows and keels are Kevlar reinforced, and all hulls below the waterline are solid fiberglass with vinylester resin. Deck hardware is installed with aluminum backing plates, and high-stress areas feature solid laminate construction. Thru-hulls are non-corrosive Marelon (brass used only for engine intakes), and plumbing and electrical systems are built to ABYC standards. The hull-to-deck joint is bonded with 3M 5200 adhesive and reinforced with a 360-degree unidirectional laminate for a monocoque structure. Rudders are solid fiberglass with 2-inch stainless steel shafts, and all external fittings are 316 stainless steel.
S/V Sangaris represents a rare opportunity to own a Manta 42 Mk-II catamaran that is not only in exceptional cosmetic and mechanical condition but also extensively upgraded for modern, long-term cruising. With fresh propulsion, electrical, and watermaking systems—along with proven offshore design and superior build quality—Sangaris is fully outfitted and ready for immediate bluewater cruising. Just bring your provisions and set sail.
