Since the introduction of the first Pilot Saloon sailing yacht in 1991, the Wauquiez shipyard has built over 300 yachts of this type. The Pilot Saloon is a blue ocean cruiser with a unique approach to world-wide cruising, offering daylight, space, comfort, safety and the pleasure of sailing.
All yachts are entirely built in-house at the yard in Neuville-en-Ferrain, located just 15 minutes above Lille, combining true craftsmanship and the latest technologies.
The Wauquiez team is pleased to present the latest model of the Pilot Saloon range: the new Pilot Saloon 42.
The new Wauquiez Pilot Saloon 42 has a high-performance hull shape. The straight bow stretches the waterline to the absolute maximum length, resulting in better performance and higher speeds. The powerful bow and soft hull chines provide high shape stability, very important for offering a sailing yacht that behaves well in all conditions.
The Pilot Saloon 42 has a powerful stern suited for a double rudder configuration, making the boat easy to helm downwind and at the same time reducing the wetted surface, which improves sailing performance in light winds. Special attention has also been paid to the appendages. The Pilot Saloon 42 is fitted with double rudders offering optimal control at all points and conditions of sail. A deep draft keel of 2,15m lowers the centre of gravity and offers ultimate sailing performance, and a 1,75m short draft keel is available for those who like to navigate and anchor in small and shallow creeks.
