This Aphrodite 42 is a Swedish built sailing yacht. She is in good shape, currently cruising in the Mediterranean sea, and can be sailed nearly anywhere in the world, actually she already has. The first owner crossed the Atlantic, while the current owner sailed the yacht from the Caribbean to New Zealand, through the Indian Ocean and now is cruising the Med. The hull is built under Lloyds Register of Shipping Certification for hull construction. The layout of the deck is dominated by is high center cockpit, giving a very secure feeling and staying dry even with very high seas. A spray hood and a bimini is installed. The original awnings to cover the whole cockpit are still on the boat. The sailplan shows the generous areas of the sails giving the boat sail power, even in lighter winds. The rigging is in excellent condition, the last complete overhaul was done in March 2008 in New Zealand. The rig is constantly checked for weaknesses and faults. The masts and the furling mechanism of the main sail is from Selden, the furling mechanism of the jib is from Hood. The sails were purchased in March 2007. They are in excellent condition. Not replaced is the full batten mizzen sail (14 m2), still in good condition. The old main sail, genoa and a storm jib are still aboard as backup. The storm jib can be set on a removable inner stay. The large and reliable Volvo Penta MD31 has never abandoned the owner during his extensive cruising. The engine is strong enough to drive the yacht in difficult situations with low fuel consuming at maybe 3 to 4 lph. This yacht is ready for a new adventure. Where would you like to go?
