Her systems package includes Raymarine electronics, a retractable bow thruster for easier maneuvering, and marine air conditioning for comfortable cruising in all conditions.
The M42's sail plan is exceptionally easy to handle, featuring a self-tacking jib with all lines running to the helmsperson.
