Genoa Italy
Introducing the new ADMIRAL 42 from Reichel Pugh and San Giorgio Marine.
Inspired by the re-birth of the Infamous Admirals Cup, where R/P have a long and celebrated history, they hope to return to the ring with this multifaceted design that offers a lot more than meets the eye.
The Admiral 42 is high-volume design compared to what we have seen in the current fleets, which not only increases interior spaces, but substantially improves handling in waves and ability to press the boat once the bows are off the wind. Available in two build options - carbon Infusion or Pre-preg, she is a fully spec'd boat that not only captures the imagination with her performance polars, but also the stunning R/P lines and looks.
Build slot available now.
Layout
Introducing the ALL-NEW Admiral 42 from Reichel Pugh and San Giorgio Marine.
This boat is an IRC designed yacht, with inherent offshore and Inshore ability, meaning owners are afforded vast flexibility in event choices.
Primarily designed as a boat to contend the Admirals Cup class 2 event, the final design is thanks to thousands of hours of R&D, not to mention Reichel Pugh's decorated history in and around this Iconic event.
Admiral 42 characteristics:
Proposed:
• LOA 12.80 m
• LWL 11.23 m
• Beam 4.10 m
• Draft 3.20 m
• DSPL 4000 kg
Rig
• P 17.20 m
• IM 16.60 m
• J 5.55 m
• E 5.80 m
• STL 7.83 m
Designer:
Reichel/Pugh design #323 Admiral 42 and structural engineering and production drawings supplied.
Builder:
San Giorgio Marine will build the Admiral 42 from their facility in Genoa, Italy.
This hugely experienced and innovative yard have raised the level of build at 40ft in recent years, with their overwhelming success of the MUSA Class 40.
Now currently working with the Ferrari Hypersail and Americas Cup projects, every owner will be in the best hands Europe has to offer in this marketplace.
Construction:
Ultra-lightweight, resistant and high performance carbon fiber construction built according to the highest quality standards.
Hull and deck will be built in epoxy-infused intermediate modulus carbon fiber in three steps: outer skin lamination and infusion, consolidation and post cure.
Core thermoforming and bonding with a light rubber tough bonder that guarantees great mechanical properties in terms of elasticity and toughness.
Inner skin lamination and infusion, consolidation and post cure.
The vessel will be fully assembled in yard, with all primary and secondary structures,
Appendages
Twin rudder blades made from pre-preg carbon/foam and autoclaved for strength, with composite fairings and epoxy painted.
Steering system will be a carbon tiller as standard, with twin JP3 bearings (wheel configuration optional).
Keel fin will be milled then CNC'd using high strength steel. Depending on final righting moments required, weight will be fine tuned, then foam and carbon fairings added for finishing.
Lead T bulb is milled and then CNC'd to required final chosen sizing and weight requirement.
Attachments
Carbon autoclaved bowsprit and CNC machined pig nose fitting.
Through hull fittings, shroud attachments and all required hardware mounts supplied in carbon with use of autoclave.
Halyard tunnel, engine box, companionway steps, galley and all secondary structures built in carbon.
The Admiral 42 will be fully certified with World Sailing One-off certification, as well as CE Prototype certificates.
All as-built weight and stability reports supplied by builder.
Spar and Rigging packages available upon request and we are working with all major suppliers to secure the best available package.
Prices vary from €160k - €430k for a full rig, boom, composite standing rigging package, depending on owners budgets.
The Admiral 42 will have a keel-stepped, two-spreader rig, stepped over the keel head.
The rig geometry will account for the twin rudder design and allow for very dynamic rig tune, with her twin running backstays and adjustable forestay.
Packages to be tuned and designed around an owners requirements.
Sail Inventory available upon request.
The Admiral 42 is sold with a comprehensive deck and hardware package included in the base boat pricing.
All options can be amended to suit individual requirements, but we believe the Admiral 42 base spec is a compelling, grand-prix option.
This includes:
Harken deck gear and winch package.
Single aft MX pedestal driving primary winches.
Harken string drop spinnaker system integrated into pedestal (option)
5 x Harken 600.3 winches (NEW Harken design) - Primary, Pit and Mainsheet
2 x Harken B50.2 winches. Runners.
(Options available for all winch and deck gear if required)
Harken magic wheel fitted for mainsheet traveller tuning.
Harken deck track for mainsail and headsails.
Harken turning blocks for spinnaker, jib and running backstays.

Gori propeller 2 blades with overdrive.
60L composite custom fuel tank.
On deck throttle controls.
Custom composite exhaust piping.
Start panel on deck.
Water Ballast
The boat is fitted, as standard, with a water ballast system that offers approximately 300ltr per side volume.
Composite tanks fitted close to amidships for better pitching and wave handling characteristics.
Gulper high volume water pump.
Large diameter transfer pipes with control valves.
Sofoscoop water intake fittings.
Operation from control panel.
Deck gear
All stanchions, push pits and pull pits supplied and manufactured from stainless steel.
Bow sliding forehatch custom designed, with spinnaker fairings and rubber gasket for waterproofing.
S/S lifeline wires.
Toe rails installed on bow - composite.
Foot bars installed in cockpit - composite.
Composite dog house for offshore, covering companionway and pit area.
Interior Spaces
Below deck has been a clear focus on offering more usable spaces, then are typical of the known "Fast 40" concept, where it can be a case of survival, rather than real living.
The living areas will be painted white and the central saloon area has standing head room, with a compact galley and storage areas to both port and starboard of the mast.
In front of the mast is a central heads location, where canvas can be added for privacy.
Moving aft there are 4 bunks fitted each side, fully gimbling.
Aft, central and fwd areas have 12v LED lighting fitted and all storage areas are fitted with lightweight canvas coverings.
The bow area is kept clean to allow sail storage, spinnaker retrieval and wet hanging space.
Seated headroom in aft areas, should allow for provision of beanbag to be used as navigation station.
Electrical
3 x onboard batteries (2 x house, 1 x engine) with isolation and emergency cut off.
Two bilge pumps installed - 1 electric positioned forward. 1 manual in central areas.

Broker Comments
40 foot race boats have always been a sweet spot for owners and crews - Logistics and running costs greatly reduced compared to larger boats and still huge fun factor on the race track. Since 2015 we have been these largely inshore flyers grow in popularity, thanks to the birth of the FAST 40 class in the UK, but also IRC and ORC fleets globally, where quick 40ft boats seem a rating sweet spot. The re-birth of the Admirals Cup has seen these boats again return to popularity, but making these inshore boats capable of races like the Fastnet has its limitations. The Admiral 42 has therefore tried to approach this design problem with a slightly different concept compared to what other designers are putting out there, by simply focussing on a yacht that has more offshore credentials, with a much higher volume solution offering a more forgiving type of yacht. Everyone involved knows that these boats still need maximum straight line speed, over wide ranging conditions, but for example increasing topside height by only 150mm or so and ensuring a water tight boat from new, are just a couple of small tweaks that can enhance offshore ability, without any notable inshore impact. The newer high volume hull shapes that designers have been developing in recent years, particularly for offshore boats, has clearly effected the design choices with the Admiral 42. Although clearly not a scow bow, which has obvious light air and inshore limitations, the R/P designers believe they have found a sweet spot in their design thinking, backed up by VPP verification. The team from Reichel/Pugh and San Giorgio are incredibly eager to start conversations with interested parties and get building the first boat, which aside from Admirals Cup aspirations, can be a boat used on any race track, the world over. We look forward to connecting with you and discussing this project further.
