Fjord 42 Open Review: A German Gem

Making a mark while debuting at the Monaco Yacht Show amongst the largest gathering of new super and mega-yachts on the planet, could be a daunting prospect for a boat of more modest dimensions. Far from being overlooked however, the all new Fjord 42 Open held its head high amongst far larger and proved why it should be on the short list of anyone considering a new tender, day boat or craft for their waterfront property

For a 40’ boat to shine amongst the world’s largest, latest and most glittering collection of superyachts takes some doing, so when the all-new Fjord 42 Open did just that when presented to the world for the first time during the Monaco Yacht Show in September, it proved why this contemporary cruiser should be considered a serious contender as ‘the’ mega-yacht tender.

On board the Fjord 42 Open

To this end the Fjord’s striking aesthetic lies in the purity of a ‘less is more’ philosophy, with lines sparingly drawn back from a vertical bow, over chamfered gunwales topped with teak, to a highly practical extended swim platform for alighting and disembarking. Also, should alongside boarding be necessary, steps thoughtfully concealed in the port and starboard bulwarks allow for safe and graceful access.

Another consideration is the protection of guests from the elements during conveyance in order to avoid fractious moments over wet cocktail attire and devastation inflicted on the carefully coiffured, but aboard the Fjord 42 Open we found that behind the high windshield and helm station occupants of the cockpit are well-cossetted from breeze and apparent wind.

Yachting Fjord 52 Open Review: Beauty Above All

Also, in waters cut into a messy chop by dozens of tenders, despite the morning breeze and putting the boat through some increasingly torturous turns, the 42 Open’s high gunwales and highly defined chine kept the outside world out and the inside world remarkably dry–in fact we struggled to find evidence of even a single drop of spray making its way over the rails.

Megayacht tender

When considering the more ‘active’ uses of a megayacht tender, it is worth noting the oversized bathing platform not only provides excellent access to the water, but can also be fitted with an optional hydraulic system for the carrying of a watercraft or additional tender.

The open transom–complete with shower facility and a voluminous space beneath the aft sunpad to stow SeaBobs, dive gear, towable toys, fishing gear and beach equipment–highlights the 42 Open’s capabilities as a legitimate means to participate in watersports, while the versatility of seating in the cockpit, the wet bar, grille and wash basin incorporated in the console aft of the helm ensures it ticks the box of ‘entertainment platform’ with equal veracity.

After dark, hidden lights make movement around the boat safe and, coupled with more LEDs behind the hand rails and on the T-Top, can be used to create an atmosphere to suit the particular occasion. For lounging at anchor in secluded bays and soaking in solar rays the forward and aft sunpads offer places for repose, while those seeking shade will find relief under either the hardtop or the electrically retractable bimini that extends from its’ aft edge to cover the entire cockpit.

The anchor system itself is a simple push button operation, just one of the many features onboard that will appeal to the owner who desires to leave the crew behind on occasion and head off alone with the family or guests–or those who keep a boat for personal use at their waterfront property. Arguably the most attractive of these ‘easy owner-driver’ features is the Volvo Penta IPS pod-drive propulsion system, which with joystick control makes close quarter maneuvering literally child’s play.

Fjord open performance

At the helm the two 16” Raymarine touchscreens are easily accessible from any of the three sporty helm seats and provide intuitive access to scroll through of all the boat’s sophisticated electronic navigational, functional and monitoring systems. Powered by two Volvo Penta IPS 500 engines producing 370hp as standard, we believe most owners will opt for the more powerful IPS 600 package that offers 435hp each that push the top speed up from 34-knots through the 40-knot barrier.

For occasional overnight trips, changing outfits, those moments when the weather closes in unexpectedly, or indeed families with small children that often re- quire a cool closeted space to rest and play during days on the water, the Fjord 42 Open’s lower deck proves eminently useful and comfortable.

Benefitting from the 14’ and a generous head clearance below, the light and airy space incorporates a large island berth in the forepeak, ample shelves and storage space, a bureau/vanity, plus a full head with standing height shower. The long strip glazing in the hull ensures it is well lit during the day, while at night one can relax in the space and make full use of the TV and Fusion sound system.

On the standard version a huge space occupies the aft area, making a perfectly protected area for the transfer of luggage between the primary yacht and shore, though the option also exists to convert this into an additional compact twin cabin. When drawing up lists of potential acquisitions for tenders, day boats or craft to keep at your waterfront property, we highly recommend the Fjord 42 Open makes your short one, it’s neat, chic and well-priced.

Norwegian cruising motor boats builder Fjord has launched its latest offering to the powerboat market. Here is a press release from the Monaco Yacht Show 2016.

  Press Release

The new Fjord 42 open celebrates

The new FJORD 42 open – world premiere at the Monaco Yacht Show on September 28

Unique. Extravagant. Characteristic. Fjord is known for unique powerboats. The vertical bow and a clear visual language of extraordinary hulls stand out in every port and make up the outstanding design from Patrick Banfield.

Fjord 42 open

The latest development of the brand portfolio of the HanseGroup, the new Fjord 42 open, presents an even more striking hull design and a flat deck layout.

The 12.59 meter long and 4.27 meter wide powerboat is both sporty and multifunctional. The large bathing platform can be lowered hydraulically and used for a dinghy or to access the water. The anchor can be raised and hydraulically stowed in the anchor locker on the bow by the push of a button from the dashboard. The new T-Top contains lots of electronics, first and foremost the electrically retractable soft-top bimini, which shadows the rear cockpit area on request.

The new Fjord 42 open is powered by two Volvo Penta IPS engines with 370 hp, or optional with 435 hp each. The larger IPS 600 engines accelerate the Fjord to 40 knots and more. The IPS Forward Drive is thereby very efficient and a joystick enables easy maneuvering. The new Fjord 42 open is controlled via an innovative dashboard that can be equipped with two 16 inch Raymarine displays. The touch screen displays can thereby be operated from all three sport seats.

The deck layout offers two large sunbathing areas on the bow and on the stern. The cockpit is Fjord typically designed with an outdoor kitchen under the T-Top and seating area, which can be converted into another sundeck. At night, the indirect on deck lights on the ground, behind the hand rails and on the T-Top create a phenomenal atmosphere.

Below deck awaits the owner pure Fjord design in the master cabin, with a large island bed, ample shelves and storage space as well as amnesties such as TV and a Fusion sound system. A second cabin with twin beds can accommodate more guests on board.

Fjord 42 open Debuts in Monaco

• By Kevin Koenig
• Updated: October 28, 2016

The Monaco Yacht Show may be famous for its glamorous megayachts, but the show also serves as a launch platform for many smaller builds, such as the Fjord 42 open, which debuted there last September. The Fjord 42 open is meant to serve as a dayboat, or possibly a tender. The 41-footer has an open layout and a large hydraulic swim platform that serves equally well when loading and unloading a dinghy, or when acting as a mini beach club. Also notable is that the anchor can be raised and lowered hydraulically as well.

The boat will be powered by either base 370 hp or optional 435 hp Volvo Penta IPS engines. With the latter variant, she should see speeds well in excess of the magic 40-knot mark. Not bad numbers at all, and Fjord has good reason to expect a lot from its new daytripper.
