This charming Menorquin is sure to cut a dash inside Mayflower Park as it makes its UK show debut. Built on Menorca, the 42’s roots lie in the sturdy fishing boats suited to the choppy waters of the Balearics but the teak clad interior is as classy as any of its rivals’. It boasts a two- or three-cabin layout and a top speed of over 20 knots, with a pair of 300hp Volvos. The semi-displacement, resin-infused hull is reassuringly solid in the chop, and that handsome flared bow does a fine job of keeping spray off the teak-lined decks. For a 43ft boat the flybridge is a little pokey, a compromise that comes with such sweet lines, but the yard has managed to squeeze a single helm, compact dinette and token sunpad up top. It’s a left-field choice but a good one. CONTACT Edge-water Marine Tel: +44 (0)2392 388884. www.sasgayachts.com
