When I went aboard the CS42 at the Stuart Trawlerfest, the builder was aboard as well as a marketing guy based in the U.S. The boat at the show was indeed the first one built, and was for sale. It was built for a guy about 6'7", so floors were lowered and access ladders were quite steep. Both the builder and the marketing rep said the intention was to resume production, but I believe they were not going to start up again unless a buyer or two stepped forth. I agree with Henry that the CS42 is far from perfect - no side decks along the salon area, some finish issues - but the basic layout, with a large king-berth forward of the saloon/pilothouse offers some advantages over the PDQ 34 and Manta 44 layouts where the berths are crammed into the hulls aft.
