The American SetGX42 Brings Efficient Cruising to a 138-Foot Hull
The GX42 is a new yacht that measures 138 feet, and it runs on a hybrid system. It chooses how to power itself according to the trip ahead, so the voyage determines which source it draws on. Its makers present it as a vessel built first for efficiency. That is a serious claim at a length where most owners expect to trade economy for size. Owners who keep a slip in Palm Beach or Miami will see it as a sign that a larger yacht no longer has to be the less efficient choice.
