It’s going to be this 42-foot catamaran that will be launched first since the hull molds are ready. The deck mold is under construction and the launch of hull #1 is scheduled for mid-October. Inverted bows, narrow hulls at the waterline (3’5” / 1.05 m max hull width), carefully designed appendages (daggerboards or keels) and only 16,300 lbs (7.4 tonnes) announced as ready to sail: the Max42SC, with nearly 1,100 sq ft (100 m²) of upwind sail area, should prove to be very pleasant and fast to sail. For propulsion, the shipyard offers diesel or outboard engines.
