Far Niente is a 1991 Sun Odyssey 42.1 All the factory data shows the length to be 42.1. I've measured it several times and others have as well. It measures 40'. I had it docked for years in a 40' slip. It didn't stick out. The slip next to me had a Catalina 42. It stuck out about 2'.

Catalina is a VERY LARGE measured boat. My 30' Jeanneau from 84 is the same length, beam etc etc as a C28 mk II. Then again, the two versions with the same hull as mine were labeled 28's! Jeanneau seems to use the OVERALL length for how long boats are, similar I find to a lot of European brands, where as in the US< the length is based on deck length. Hence why the C42 sticks out a lot, ie 42' of deck becomes about 44' overall.
