Discover in preview the first tests of the Med 42, the magazine Neptune devoted in its number 299 the detail of the performances of this new day-boat.

Med Yacht is developing its entry-level range with this Med 42 of impeccable quality and competitive price. Enough to make a place for itself in this highly coveted market.

After the Med 52, launched in 2016 and manufactured since then in seventeen copies, the French brand Med Yacht continues the development of its range with a smaller model, the 42. This day-boat of just under 13 meters competes with the Fiart, Fjord, Pardo and other Solaris. It has benefited from the pencil stroke of Italian designer Enrico Gobbi, which translates into rounder and less tense lines than on its predecessor.

Gilles Vaton is still at the helm of the boat, and his hull design was inspired by that of the Pilotins. The very pronounced V at the bow is assisted by three large strakes and a marked step to ensure a comfortable sea passage and a good deflection of the waves. This hull is compatible with a Z-drive or IPS engine and an outboard version (with 2 x 600 horsepower or 3 x 300 horsepower) is planned for October 2021. Manufactured since 2014 in the Galeon factories in Poland, Med Yachts are customizable and the 42 is no exception to the rule leaving the future owner the choice between several upholsteries and woodwork.
