That packaging is brilliant with the island berths everywhere and shared, separate shower on the port side. Great solutions. Color schemes in the demonstrator are generally good. Making the afterdeck larger and salon smaller makes sense for tropical destinations these most often will be used in. That said, agree with the comment that beamier hulls will be slower. In design, all things are a tradeoff. I imagine the similar packaging concepts work better (in terms of passagemaking performance) in the longer boats.
I wonder how much of the demand for these was due to last years hurricanes that destroyed so many of them. 100+ sounds impressive, but I would be curious what the breakdown is between single customers and charter companies buying them.
Now, that's an awsome boat! Great live aboard, excelent saling position and smart helm station, with all the comfort you'd find on a 48 or 50'. OK, probably slower than competition, but who really cares? Put a larger sail...
As I've said on others, it's really nice, but the "dentist office" styling is really not to my liking. At least do a mix of traditional and modern, as opposed to these jagged and obtuse lines that the yachts of today have.
What I would like to see is the underwater shape. Can find no where. Not in Sales Doco and no Out of Water Videos. Why you ask? For all that in a 42 footer, what was done to the hulls to achieve this. Also , heavier than a Helia yet 2 foot smaller, Hmmmmmm.
