Performance upgrades set Veritas apart. The recent addition of Shero props enhances handling, efficiency, and overall cruising speed. Powering this Wesmac 42 are twin Yamaha 300 outboard engines—a rare but impressive configuration that delivers smooth, reliable performance and plenty of power when you need it most.
Bright and Luxurious Interior of the 2016 Wesmac 42
Stepping inside Veritas, the 2016 Wesmac NEB Custom 42, you’re welcomed by a light-filled, airy interior that feels more like a seaside retreat than a traditional yacht. The custom furnishings and drapes create a relaxed yet refined atmosphere, blending luxury and comfort in true Downeast style.
To port, a cozy loveseat easily converts into a double berth, making it versatile for both lounging and accommodating overnight guests. On the starboard side, two exceptionally comfortable Ekornes Stressless chairs provide the perfect spot to unwind and take in the panoramic views. Completing the space is a handcrafted Amish-built cherry dining table, thoughtfully designed at the ideal height for meals, whether you’re seated at the loveseat or in the chairs.

Power and handling are enhanced by twin Yamaha controls and a progressive bow thruster, ensuring smooth maneuvering in tight harbors or offshore conditions. The side opening helm door also improves airflow and accessibility, making docking, mooring, or anchoring stress-free. This combination of technology and thoughtful design highlights why the Wesmac 42 excels as a Downeast performance yacht.
Functional and Elegant Galley on the 2016 Wesmac 42
The galley of Veritas, the 2016 Wesmac NEB Custom 42, blends practical functionality with refined design. Located on the port side, it features Corian countertops, stainless steel double-drawer refrigerators, a microwave-convection oven, and a two-burner Kenyon electric range, providing everything needed for onboard meal prep.
Cherry woodwork throughout adds craftsmanship and elegance, while upper cabinets, large lower cabinets, and custom drawers provide ample storage for extended trips.
Spacious Staterooms and Luxurious Heads
Down below, Veritas offers 6’5″ of headroom and a spacious interior. The owner’s stateroom is forward, with a centerline queen bed—an elegant touch not often found on Down East boats. There’s also plenty of storage, drawers and hanging lockers, and excellent ventilation from the port lights and hatches.
The guest stateroom to port is equally comfortable, and an upper bunk can be added if desired. The washer-dryer is also located here, which is a convenient touch for extended trips.
The starboard-side head features a freshwater flush marine toilet, Corian countertops, and a large stall shower, offering the perfect balance of functionality and luxury.
Efficient and Accessible Machinery Space
Under the saloon, Veritas boasts a massive machinery space thanks to its twin Yamaha outboards. With no large inboard diesel engine occupying space, there’s ample storage and easy access to critical systems including the water heater, bilge pumps, fuel and water tanks, and the electrical distribution panel.
A 9kW Northern Lights generator sits in a sound enclosure for quiet operation, supported by a dedicated 29-gallon diesel tank. This thoughtful layout makes maintenance and long-term cruising a breeze.
Performance and Comfort on the Water
Veritas delivers a quiet, smooth, and capable ride, whether cruising at 9 knots for a relaxed day on the water or reaching 16–17 knots for faster passages. The rear-mounted outboards, sound-insulated cabin, and optimized trim and running angles create a ride that’s comfortable, stable, and efficient.
Whether entering a harbor at 6 knots or stretching the engines on open water, the Wesmac 42 offers both performance and comfort for long days at sea.
