Trueline plans to expand fleet with CX42 model and sailing catamaran

When it launched the global market strategy for its CX Series earlier this year, Trueline was not just thinking about its initial CX32 and 36 models but forecasting several years into the future.

True to its company name, China-based Trueline is focused on a clear and focused course of expansion as it looks to advance its fleet of yachts with a larger CX42 power catamaran, anticipated to launch in 2028, and a sailing catamaran currently in design.

The news comes on the back of the successful launch of the CX concept at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival. As the CX36 prepares for its on-water debut next year, Trueline is looking ahead to meet future demand for more efficient, contemporary vessels that align with the way owners today want to experience the sea – whether that’s family cruising, social boating, island exploration, weekend escapes, premium charter or resort operations.

The wide appeal of the CX42

The CX42 is an active development project and takes Trueline’s power catamaran range to new levels. “The CX42 gives us a larger platform on which to develop the CX approach to life on the water,” confirms Trueline’s commercial director Ricky Tian. “Compared with the 36 model, it offers a greater sense of space, with more room for entertaining, a more substantial galley and additional storage capacity.”

At 42ft (12.8m) LOA, the model offers generous interior and deck areas, but what really makes the different is the beam. At 20ft (6.1m) it makes plenty of space for four guests in two double cabins, with preliminary plans incorporating a private bathroom and separate shower for each cabin.

But innovative design takes the exterior living experience a significant step further. With the boat’s side platforms lowered, a total width of 22ft (6.75m) means owners and guests can truly experience the best of life at sea – a priority on all Trueline boats.

Designs meet all preferences. “The open version is designed around outdoor living, particularly in warmer climates,” says Tian. “An enclosed salon version is planned for owners who prefer a more sheltered and private interior, with greater scope for galley equipment and storage.”

Sailing designs on the drawing board

Trueline’s sailing catamaran, planned at around 47 feet (14.3m), brings Trueline’s design approach to yet a wider audience, aimed at owners looking for a different way to experience the sea.

“We’re developing a design with sharper, more angular lines and a character influenced by racing yachts,” says Tian. “Although it’s currently at the early concept evaluation stage, it’s a crucial part of our long-term multihull development strategy.” He goes on to outline the design concept, detailing a central helm with clear sightlines and access from both sides. The vision, still being developed, anticipates varied foredeck arrangements to suit private owners and the charter market.

With these two planned additions to its fleet, Trueline is not simply adapting an existing catamaran formula but evolving its brand with a clear, focused vision of contemporary life on the water.
