The aft cabin is a Broom speciality and the 42 takes this concept a
stage further. There is a large double berth, spacious wardrobes,

Construction

The mouldings are of excellent quality and are produced using hand laid chopped strand mat and woven rovings in Lloyds approved isopthalic gel coat and resin, over double brushed isopthalic gel coat all but eliminating the risk of osmosis. Substantial transverse and longitudinal stringers are Incorporated throughout the hull for strength. The hull and deck joint is both riveted and bonded.

Ergonomically well laid out, the console design permits ease of monitoring the engine systems and navigation equipment, together with an excellent view. Weather protection is provided by the large windscreen. A two part hood protects the cockpit area and helmstation.

Upholstery and Interior Fabrics:

The choice of materials is very flexible to meet owner requirements. Externally, vinyl covering is standard material in a single colour with piping. Internally the owner is free to choose from the range of materials offered by our interior designers.

Deck Layout:

The layout provides an easy to use boat when either passing through locks, low bridges or just mooring up, yet also provides comfort and safety when cruising offshore. A major feature of the 425 is the easy and safe access from both sides of the transom with more than adequate safety rails and handholds. The large aft deck area has a door at the aft end for added security. There is also a large dinette seating area with table for outside dining. Teak type decking on the bathing platform and deck steps is provided as standard, together with a boarding ladder.

Engines:

Only the best marine diesel engines are considered for the 425. The standard specification provides for a single or twin inboard diesel units.

A 240 volt ring is installed for connecting to shore supply when ordinary domestic equipment can be used. All 240 volt and 12 volt circuits are protected by circuit breakers.
