What this video covers

The Pure 42 is a 42-foot aluminum expedition sailboat built in Kiel, Germany, designed to bridge the performance and utility characteristics of Pogo, Ovni, and Sirius models.0:09 The vessel features a lifting T-keel that adjusts draft from 3 meters to 1.2 meters, allowing the boat to stand upright on its keel and twin rudders during storage.7:37 The hull is constructed of aluminum, while the deckhouse and superstructure are made of fiberglass to facilitate interior installation before the roof is attached.3:14 The interior layout includes a raised saloon with 360-degree glass visibility, a galley equipped with both gas and induction, and a forward cabin featuring a traditional V-berth.4:27 Under sail, the boat demonstrates high performance, though the fixed cutter stay complicates tacking with a genoa.7:18 The helm position requires the sailor to sit on the rail to maintain a clear view, which is less ergonomic than the protected cockpit seating.0:45 The vessel is priced at approximately 14 million NOK.8:28
