2023 Columbus Yachts Crossover 42m42m

Currently in build in Savona, delivery expected for mid-2024.

The Columbus 42 Crossover is the smallest model in the yard’s Crossover range, designed by Sergio Cutolo from Hydro Tec, which also includes a 50-meter and a 57-meter. This model was born from the need to accommodate, even on yachts of fairly compact size, tenders of a size comparable to those of much larger yachts and, at the same time, to adapt to a new lifestyle that makes the boat a private island on which concentrate all the activities of the holiday.

The external line is characterized by modern and muscular shapes, with a prevalence of tense and angled surfaces with the concentration of volumes in the forward area, typical of the Crossover, but further accentuated to make room for the tender. The hull is of the displacement type, with bulbous bow and flat, flared aft sections. The construction is in steel with light alloy superstructures.

The 40 Crossover, for example, can accommodate tenders up to 8 meters in length and 2.5 tons in weight on deck, as well as a whole series of “toys” that are normally supplied to yachts of this type.

The space left by the tender, which is usually towed, remains completely free thanks to the retractable crane installed in the aft area of the upper deck.
