For Sale: Fontaine Pajot Venezia for sale 165K

[sailinlee]

Hello,

I will be selling my 42' Fontaine Pajot Venezia. She has the basic layout of four double cabins, two crew cabins. Everything is in overall good condition.

This month:
New trampoline, new batteries, new stereo, serviced the motors, basically fixing anything that needs fixing so it will be cruising ready. I'm sailing her to St. Martin in a couple of weeks.

New standing rigging, mast was pulled and the crossbar rigging replaced about 4/5 years ago. About 10 miles on the sail drives since last servicing.

She has a Autohelm ST 6000 auto pilot (still fixing that up)
Garmin 162 chart plotter
2 VHF radios
Double reefed, full batten heavy sails in good condition
New Shaefer furler on the genoa
Both motor driven and A/C powered fridge/freezer
Interior in excellent shape.
Exterior in good shape but there are a few nicks and scrapes.
Starboard engine was rebuilt about 8 years ago and port engine runs good.
(Starboard engine is the one used for charging batteries and cooling fridge.)

If you are interested let me know at:

Thanks,

Lee

Hi.

I am interested and would like to see some fotos. What year is your FP? Can you tell me the height inside your galley?

I published a thread here yesterday concerning my interest in buying a cat.
Thanks

If this is the boat at Oyster Creek; you're asking quite a premium for your few weeks work of cleaning and new batteries. Good luck.

I did a bit more than cleaning and new batteries.
replaced the trampoline,
serviced the engines, went through all the electronics and cleaned all the connections
new batteries
replaced battery charger
went through DC electrics and replaced pumps and seacocks as needed, .
welded mainsheet car
rebuilt saildrive,
new props, zincs and saildrive seals
new bottom paint
replaced most of the auto pilot
repaired the motor driven refrigeration and serviced the AC refrigeration
replaced and repaired the AC electrical
repaired winches
replaced or cleaned running rigging
And did a major cleaning
There is lots more that I can't remember off the top of my head. 2 guys working 7 days a week for a month now and one more working part time, and we're not finished yet. I have 20,000 nautical miles as a captain, one of the other guys has 30 years as a Merchant Marine and retired as chief engineer for Matson Lines, and the other guy is one of the best mechanics and electricians I know. He rebuilt a 60' 1969 Sparkman & Stephens wooden ketch to her original beauty. About $25,000 invested so far. I'm actually going to raise the price to $175,000 and she's worth every penny. I repaired the boat for myself to go to the Caribbean so it doesn't matter if I sell the boat or not. She's worth a lot more than I'm asking.
