New Flybridge 42 to Take Centre Stage for Trader

London International Boat Show 2009, 9th-18th January

Stand S21A

The Tarquin Boat Company, designers and manufacturers of Trader motoryachts, will be showing the new flybridge version from its best selling Trader 42 series at the London International Boat. Following the successful launch of the Trader 42 and Trader 42 Sportdeck in 2007, the Trader 42 Signature is the last of the three Trader 42 variants to be launched by Tarquin and is marked out by many new design features. A two-cabin Trader 42 with a standard aft deck will also be on display alongside the Signature to demonstrate the many options available on the 42 series.

The Trader 42 was designed from the start with the three model variants in mind, with the Signature performing and handling just like her smaller siblings.  In fact, the flybridge adds just 5% to the displacement of a standard Trader 42. Features include a new centre console flybridge helm; the model on display also features an inner helm position, and a full height, two panel sliding door to access the saloon, which is a unique aspect on an aft cabin cruiser of this size. The aft deck is sheltered by an integrated canopy, which when coupled with the sociable flybridge, gives the Signature the versatility of a much larger craft.

The Signature on display will feature three cabins; however there are two internal layouts to choose from across the series with a choice of either two or three cabins. The palatial owners’ suite is located aft for space and privacy and the distinctive Trader transom “bay view” window gives optimum light and offers a superb view. Forward, guests are treated to equal luxury and in the two-cabin layout, there is a full sized double cabin with a fully equipped head. The three-cabin version has a twin cabin forward, a bunk cabin to port and a guest head with a separate shower to starboard.

Tarquin will also be showing a Trader 42 which features a standard aft deck and a two cabin layout. This version also features a hinged mast that can be lowered giving it a reduced air-draft of 3.5m and making it the first Trader to access the upper reaches of the Thames and the extensive inland waterways of mainland Europe.

The Trader 42 series has been designed in collaboration with leading naval architect, Tony Castro and all models feature sleek exterior styling, ‘home from home’ interiors and state of the art systems.
