The Dehler 42c is a modern performance yacht that blends racing pedigree with fast-cruising practicality. Built using vacuum-infused construction and reinforced with Dehler’s signature carbon cage, the hull structure is exceptionally stiff, delivering efficient power transfer, stability, and a responsive helm.
Offered in standard, competition, and shallow-keel configurations, the 42c is designed to suit a wide range of sailing programs. With a 3.91-metre beam and an approximate displacement of 9,100kg, the yacht balances form stability with performance, while the 39hp Volvo Penta engine provides reliable auxiliary power for manoeuvring and passage work.
Below deck, the interior is finished to a high standard, combining comfort and functionality without compromising weight or performance. The Dehler 42c is widely regarded as a capable all-rounder, well suited to both competitive racing and efficient, high-speed cruising.
