Prepare to be amazed by the latest innovation in luxury sailing! The new Say 42 Sport yacht, a stunning 42-foot marvel, promises to revolutionize the way we experience cruising with its impressive speed and cutting-edge design.
Officially named the Say 42 Sport, this sleek vessel is an exciting evolution of the original Say 42 model that first graced the waters in 2020. Just like its predecessor, the Say 42 Sport masterfully blends lightweight carbon fiber construction with powerful engines, resulting in an exhilarating journey across the waves.
Crafted entirely from advanced carbon fiber, the Say 42 Sport showcases Say’s unique “wave-cutter” bow and innovative Petestep hull technology, which work together to deliver a smooth and efficient ride, while achieving a remarkable top speed of 50 knots (approximately 58 mph).
This new yacht can be equipped with either two Volvo Penta D4 Diesel engines offering 640 horsepower or a pair of robust V8 engines generating an impressive 860 horsepower. Additionally, it incorporates a Seakeeper 2 system, enhancing stability on rough waters, along with DuoProp drives that translate power into swift acceleration. The yacht features a fully integrated digital cockpit, allowing seamless control at your fingertips, while three shock-absorbing seats in the pilot area ensure comfort for both you and your guests during your maritime adventures.
One of the standout features of the Say 42 Sport is its redesigned layout, which provides increased deck space and improved flow from the front to the back of the yacht. This clever arrangement includes flexible dining and lounging areas capable of accommodating up to 12 people. The central area boasts a spacious dining spot and bar, while inviting sun pads are strategically placed at the front and rear. Furthermore, a large swim platform is conveniently located at the back, making it easy to enjoy water activities. To enhance the overall experience, an expanded hardtop provides shelter from the sun and elements, making the yacht more functional for various conditions.
Karl Wagner, Say’s chief technology officer, emphasized the focus on refinement in the design of the Say 42 Sport, stating, "With the Say 42 Sport, our focus was on refinement rather than reinvention. It is a yacht designed for everyday enjoyment, where performance, comfort, and design are in constant dialogue."
Say is riding the wave of innovation, as they belong to a new generation of yacht manufacturers that prioritize carbon fiber as a fundamental material in their designs. Traditionally used for decorative aspects, carbon fiber is now favored for its ability to reduce weight, enhance stiffness, and facilitate unconventional shapes. The Say 42 Sport exemplifies this trend, boasting a dry weight of just 4.5 tons (including the Seakeeper), a draft of under 3 feet, and a range of 300 nautical miles before needing to refuel.
This strategic approach seems to be paying off, as Say reports a year filled with substantial growth and ongoing expansion into vital European markets. Plus, there’s more excitement on the horizon, with the unveiling of a new Say 32 model scheduled for later this year. Stay tuned for more updates!
