This Rodman 42 is a silver-hulled race yacht, designed by Judel & Vrolijk, built in 2003 by Rodman in Spain and acquired by the present owner in July 2011.

After racing in RORC races for 3 seasons (3rd IRC1 season 2012, 1st IRC1 North Sea Race 2012, 4th IRC1 season 2014, 2nd IRC1/6th overall Round Ireland 2014), the boat was moved to the Mediterranean in 2015. Since then the team took part in many of the major Med offshore events including the Giraglia.

The most recent was the Thousand Islands Race in Croatia, Sep 18th-25th 2016, from Rijeka to Montenegro and back. In the combined results for both legs the team came first overall and first in class (ORC2).

The Rodman JV42 was originally aimed at racing under IMS and this design together with the Sinergia 40 and Grand Soleil 42R were the most competitive models while the IMS rule was in use, dominating the IMS600 class. This Rodman, while racing with its former owner, did very well under the ORC rule.

Several modifications have been made to the boat since it was first launched. Most importantly, the original keel has been replaced with a fin-and-bulb keel. It was designed by JV and fitted by Knierim; the actual construction was by Schumacher Metall.

The mast and rig have also been modified by lengthening the spreaders and moving the chainplates outboard.

In March 2012 a carbon bow sprit was fitted as part of the new sailplan which now includes fractional and masthead sails

• The boat is fitted out to OSR Cat 2.
