The Fast 42 is a high-performance monohull that serves as a testament to the early versatility of the South African shipyard Robertson & Caine. Designed by the renowned naval architecture firm Simonis Voogd (Alexander Simonis), the Fast 42 was conceived in the early 1990s as a dual-purpose cruiser-racer capable of holding its own on the international racing circuit while maintaining enough interior civility for offshore passages. Before Robertson & Caine pivoted to the exclusive production of Leopard catamarans for the charter market, they hand-built the initial production run of the Fast 42 in Cape Town, establishing a reputation for structural rigidity that many sailors believe surpassed later iterations. Production rights were eventually transferred to Fast Yachts in Durban, though the Robertson & Caine hulls remains the most sought-after by purists.
