The Bray 42 metre Ocean Motor Yacht Design

The hull is a conically projected, double chined form with wide spray knocker, flared bow, and a transom stern. It is longitudinally framed with wide spaced transverse frames for maximum strength and ease of construction.
Advanced technology appendages, including a bulbous bow, midship bulb, stern bulb, fixed/active stabilizers, and a bi-foil under each propeller, are the features that make this Bray 42 m Ocean vessel unique. In addition these features give the vessel superior seakeeping ability as well as having double the range of stability of other vessels.
The Bray 42 metre Ocean Motor Yacht has in excess of a Trans-Atlantic range at 12 knot cruise as well as being capable of higher semi-displacement speeds for local cruising.
The 42m Ocean superyacht designed by Bray Yacht Design boasts a large master suite located on the upper deck which extends out onto a private deck. It also features a huge walk in closet and very spacious bathroom.
