The Discovery 42 represents a strategic departure for Discovery Yachts, a builder primarily recognized for its large, centercockpit bluewater cruisers like the iconic 55. Launched in 2010, the 42 was designed by the esteemed naval architect Stephen Jones to offer the shipyard’s signature luxury and "allweather" capability in a more compact, aftcockpit package. Unlike its larger siblings which focused on heavydisplacement stability, the 42 was engineered to be a more spirited performer, blending a powerful hull form with a sophisticated decksaloon interior that caters to couples seeking a highend coastal and offshore cruiser.
