So it was on February 12, the opening day of the Miami International Boat Show, that we were got the chance to discover the first model in the Coupe range.
With its streamlined silhouette - the air draft is limited to just over 10 feet (3 m) - the new 42 Coupe is positioned from the outset in the category of sports powercats. As for the design, it is intended to be rather modern and relatively discreet, but also in line with American standards: the bows retain a steep “conventional” slope.
On board, you can count on spacious relaxation areas. In the nacelle, there's a lounge, a large galley and a well-protected two-seater interior helm station. Multiple openings, including a forward door and a sunroof, facilitate circulation and ventilation. Each hull features a double cabin with private bathroom.
Note: the 42 Coupe is equipped with a foiling system that reduces fuel consumption while increasing comfort under way.
A forthcoming test has been scheduled out of Clearwater, Florida.
