One of the Pilot 42's strengths is her exceptional seakeeping abilities. Punching into steep head seas her behavior is excellent. Her deep V hull, weight and strength allowed her to punch through the waves almost silently with no bangs or slams and even after becoming airborne her landings are very soft as she shoulders the seas aside. The aft central con position and pilot seating resulted in very low motions for the crew, providing comfort even in very rough conditions. Beam on she is exceptionally stable, a result of her wide beam and high levels of stability, on this course the vessel is excellent with very little rolling and heel, and is able to withstand heavy breaking seas striking her beam on. Its worthwhile to note also that the screens remain virtually dry, her twin chine hull design effectively suppressing airborne spray allowing good visibility to be maintained, even in poor conditions. Turning to run before the seas is truly exceptional being reassuringly controllable, allowing hands off steering even in big in following seas, and running straight down wind, she displays exceptional directional stability. Putting the seas on the transom quarter, always a test for a boat, she is again exceptional in her handling, with little heeling on the face of waves when surfing and zero tendency to yaw.
The following dramatic photographs are testimony to her seakeeping abilities.
