Foil-Enhanced Performance

Optional Foils for Fuel Efficiency and Stability

One of the standout features of the M42 is the option for foils, that was recently introduced by the brand. These innovative additions significantly enhance fuel efficiency and stability by lifting the hull out of the water at higher speeds, reducing drag. This cutting-edge feature is just being introduced on the M37, but we are excited to see its applicability on the M42 for enhanced performance.

Versatile Swim Platform

Large Swim Platform with Tender Capability

The large swim platform on the M42 is designed for convenience and enjoyment. It is spacious enough to fit a dinghy, providing easy access to shore or additional activities while anchored. Furthermore, an optional hydraulic tender/stairs lift can be installed, adding extra convenience for launching watercraft or simply enjoying the water.
