The boat is visually in line with the successful Berckemeyer designs such as the deck saloon yacht BM 53. The modern lines with deep chines, negative stem and fixed bowsprit are characterised by a large, quite veritable, but visually harmonious deckhouse. Further features of the deck saloon yacht are the twin rudders, the protected propeller and, above all, the lifting keel, which enables a variable draught from 1.20 metres suitable for shallow water to a high-performance 3.00 metres. The lifting keel with T-bomb is infinitely adjustable and makes it easier to fall dry. Even with the keel retracted to 1.30 metres, the boat should still be able to sail safely. A retractable bow thruster is standard, another thruster in the stern is optional. The cutter rig with staysail and genoa is available in aluminium or carbon with a rod rig. Protected behind the deckhouse, the cockpit offers a fixed dodger and walkaround geometry, which also improves the ergonomics at the winches. The drums on the wheel, where the halyards and outhauls converge in the centre alongside the sheets, can be operated easily and effectively as the user stands directly in front of them.
Deck saloon yacht with panoramic view and crew contact
The inner and outer areas are visually connected: The seated person in the cockpit is on a visual axis with a standing and also a seated person in the saloon. The helmsman is slightly elevated in order to have a clear view of the deckhouse. The deck saloon with integrated galley provides an almost unrestricted all-round view. There are two cabins and a wet room in the hull. The bow of the deck saloon yacht has a sailing load. To starboard next to the keel box is another living area that can be freely arranged. Additional berths, a sofa or a boat office are conceivable here. The interior is fitted out with lightweight but strong foam sandwich panels as the core material. The hull of the Pure 42 is being built at Jachtbouw Folmer in Holland and will be built by the newly founded shipyard Pure Yachts (see also prototype Pure 49) on the Kiel Fjord has been expanded and completed. Further Berckemeyer designs are to be created there in the future. The Pure 42 can be customised to a large extent. The owner can design the furniture surfaces, floorboards and fabrics as well as convert the centre cabin into a guest cabin, office or storage space.
