The Solaris 42, often marketed during its production run as the Solaris One 42, represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of the Aquileiabased shipyard. Designed by the Argentinian naval architect Javier Soto Acebal and launched around 2011, this model was conceived to bridge the gap between a pure racing machine and a luxurious bluewater cruiser. Built using vacuuminfusion technology, the hull and deck are constructed in a sandwich of Eglass and PVC foam with vinylester resins, ensuring a light yet exceptionally stiff structure. Unlike many highvolume production boats, the Solaris 42 features bulkheads that are laminated both to the hull and the deck, creating a monolithic, "nocreak" environment even when pushed hard to windward in a seaway. This commitment to structural integrity is a hallmark of the Solaris Yachts philosophy, which prioritizes seaworthiness and longevity overinflated interior volume.
