Crystal Sands

Like many desirable west coast trawlers, the Gulf Commander was designed by Ed Monk Jr. for cruising on the west coast in comfort and safety. Rumour has it that only 3 of the aft cabin 42’s were ever built. They are considered one of the most desirable Gulf Commanders for a couple cruising the northwest because of their thoughtful, spacious layout, combined with a heavy displacement hull making adverse conditions more pleasant for everyone on board.

The Crystal Sands has a solid fiberglass hull, a heavy, full keel and dependable Perkins twin diesel engines for efficient cruising. At home anywhere in the Pacific Northwest, this two-cabin cruiser is in very good shape for her age. Cruising around the Gulf Islands, Desolation Sound or headed to Alaska, the Gulf Commander is purpose-built for the environment. The layout is functional with a large aft cabin and forward bunks, both with separate heads for great separation and privacy.

The moorage is assumable with management approval at the Fairwinds Marina in Schooner Cove.

Accommodations

  • Stepping aboard onto the swim grid and through the transom door, you will find the large cockpit with storage. You can walk along each side deck forward to either the port or starboard entry door. Once in the main salon you will find a comfortable space for relaxing at anchor or entertaining friends and family.
  • Forward to starboard is the lower helm station and two steps down to port is the very well laid out galley. It is not down far enough to be away from the salon, just enough to keep it separate. Across from the galley is the full forward head with a shower and electric marine toilet.
  • Forward again is the guest stateroom with split bunk vee berth, drawers and hanging closets.
  • Aft of the main salon and two steps down is the wide master stateroom with a center line island double berth. There are plenty of drawers and closet space. A full head with a separate shower stall and electric marine toilet is on the port side.
  • Three steps up from the aft salon puts you on the aft deck where you can place chairs and tables for outdoor dining.  Another step up takes you to the large flybridge which has great all-around visibility and is covered by a nice bimini for shade and plenty to bench seating. The fore deck is clean and uncluttered providing an easy-to-work space when docking.
