nimbus Sport Coupé 42

DESCRIPTION

A 12.7-metre cabin boat for long-distance transport in real weather, that changes from closed to open to suit the day.

A cabin boat that changes with the day

The Sport Coupé 42 is a fast, spacious cabin boat built for long-distance transport in high comfort, right through the year. What marks it out is how readily it changes from closed to open.

Slide back the side doors, the aft door and the roof hatches and the saloon fills with air and light. Close it all down and it keeps you warm and sheltered through rain and cold, whether that is the daily run or a family holiday.

All of it rests on generations of experience, made stronger by modern technology.

Experience the Sport Coupé 42: a virtual 360° tour with the twin Volvo Penta inboard, showing the saloon open from closed to open.

A flexible saloon at the heart of the boat

The Sport Coupé 42 carries up to nine people forward-facing, fast and protected, in any weather. The heart of the boat is the saloon, spacious and full of light, with seating that adjusts to what you are doing. Nine seats facing the direction of travel for a fast passage.

A dinette for lunch. A large U-sofa for an evening together. The two sofas fold and move on simple handles, and the table raises, lowers, rotates and folds, so one space does the work of several. Storage sits close to hand throughout, and panoramic windows give a near 360° view from inside.

New for the 42 series, the deck saloon gains a galley up at deck level, so cooking happens in the light with everyone around rather than tucked below. A convertible saloon sofa adds a berth when the day runs late, and blackout curtains close the space down for sleep or shade.

Open the side doors, slide back the aft door and the roof hatches, and the saloon becomes an open boat. Ceiling height and daylight do the rest.

The helm seats two in the snug Nimbus manner, with storage close by, and you can stand or sit to drive. The dashboard takes two 12-inch plotters. New custom Nimbus helm seats, shaped for lateral support, take the fatigue out of a long passage, and joystick steering is available.

Wide passages, room to move

Like the Sport Tender 42, the Sport Coupé 42 gives you a wide walk-around with generous deck space and passageways that let people move freely around the boat. It carries the award-winning walk-around of the Sport Cruiser 42 series: the wide sliding doors let two people pass in the doorway without crowding, and boarding, disembarking, loading and unloading are all straightforward.

The aft deck has been redesigned for the 42 series, with more usable space, a folding backrest on the aft sofa, and new seating with side cushions along the sides. It works as a load surface, with a folding bench and fender holders, and an easily accessible 2,500-litre stowage space for gear, tools and luggage. An extra helm with plotter and joystick is available on the starboard aft deck.

The swim platform is new, extended, with double-mould construction that is structurally integrated with the hull. On outboard boats an optional hydraulic platform lowers to bring you closer to the water and doubles as a passerelle when moored. A new aft deck shower rinses off the salt after a swim. Along the deck, a new 40mm stainless steel railing and the polished chrome Nimbus hull logo mark the 42 series.

The foredeck has room for a divan and a sun bed, with a large cargo hatch through to the forward cabin. The wide gunwales make it a seating and gathering space of its own.

Below deck, two separate cabins sleep two couples or a family of four, and a spacious head holds a toilet and shower with proper headroom. Improved ventilation and sound insulation keep the cabins fresh and quiet, underway and at anchor. The vacuum-infused Divinycell hull insulates against cold and heat, so the inverter-powered air conditioning holds the cabin comfortable right through an overnight stay.

The Sport Coupé 42 is prepared for a diesel generator, gyroscopic stabilisation, joystick steering, roof racks, solar panels and more.

Who is the Sport Coupé 42 for?

The Sport Coupé 42 is a fast, multifunctional cabin boat for long-distance transport in Scandinavia, the Mediterranean and North America.

It is an easy-to-use, smart boat for people who want more freedom and more uses from one boat, who value seaworthiness and considered Scandinavian design.

It suits the owner who wants protected comfort in real weather and an open boat when the sun is out, and who recognises quality without needing to announce it.
