Performance separates these two: the Anvera 42 Speedster tops out at 63 knots against the Fjord 52 Open's 38.
On size, the Fjord 52 Open is the longer boat at 16.36 m LOA to 12.90 m. Drivetrains differ: the Anvera 42 Speedster runs outboard, the Fjord 52 Open ips.
Net of the spec sheet it is a trade: the Fjord 52 Open is the bigger platform, the Anvera 42 Speedster the quicker one. Garage envelope and the missions the boat has to cover should settle it.
The full spec table is below; the gold dot marks the leading value in each row.
