New 42 Lightning
 

Did they make any hull changes? or is it just cosmetic?

My guess, they’ll say the hull has been reworked (or similar).
I’d ask tne same question to all the competitors and you’d probably get a similar answer.

The 42 bottom has been worked to death over the years and I can't imagine it needed a single thing done to it. I would think retooling and a new bottom mold would have been $$ wasted if the legacy mold was in house already. They spent the R&D on above the rub rail and interior IMHO.

Nothing wrong with latest bottom

I would truly hope they didnt change the bottom. The 42 is vee bottom perfection

I was told no changes to bottom but with better technology in glass and coring will be lighter and stronger....
