‘Yachting World’ is without doubt one of the – if not the – most influential yachting magazine in Europe and USA, and Toby Hodges is the Test Editor of the magazine.
The December issue features a review of the new Heyman 42 PPH:

From the article:
“Designed for two to live aboard in real comfort, the Heyman 42PPH combines some of the best or these monohull and multihull features into a modern hull shape – an attractive yacht which brings a lot of fresh thinking from a lifetime’s design experience”
–
“Think about it relative to houses, and it makes more sense. After all, who would choose to put their kitchens and living rooms in the cellar or basement? Especially if you have a sea view! Yet to the layman, that is what happens on conventional monohulls. You walk through the nice views of the cockpit, and down a flight of stairs to the living and accommodation in the bowels of the boat, on the lower floor”
–
“A handsome cruising yacht for a couple, this is somehow also the largest 42ft monohull I’ve been on (…) It’s designed for a couple to stay aboard in utmost comfort, including space for all the toys, and occasional guests (…) During some pretty testing conditions the 42 PPH performed respectably, and felt safe and well built”
The December issue of Yachting World is out now.
(Test the magic feature: Press in the middle of your own copy of the magazine to unfold it a little more and the PPH becomes almost a metre longer 🙂 !)
