Description

The Vri-Jon Contessa 42 is a steel motor yacht built in 1992 by the Dutch shipyard Vri-Jon, designed by Yachts Ossenzijl. Measuring 13 meters in length and 4 meters in width, this vessel offers a spacious and practical layout, suitable for both extended stays on board and recreational use on inland waters. With a draft of 1 meter, the boat is accessible for a wide range of sailing areas. Construction and Engine The hull is entirely made of steel, contributing to the ship's robustness and stability. The Vri-Jon Contessa 42 is powered by an inboard diesel engine DAF 5002 with 105 hp. This six-cylinder engine, also from 1992, has approximately 4538 running hours. The engine is electrically started and has an average fuel consumption of around 8 liters per hour. The maximum speed is about 35 kilometers per hour, making the boat suitable for both leisurely cruises and faster journeys. Steering and Handling Steering is done via a steering wheel on the aft deck, where the external controls are located. The ship has a single rudder. The handling is described as comfortable and manageable, thanks to the free steering position and the spacious aft deck that invites social moments on board. Interior and Accommodation Inside, the Vri-Jon Contessa 42 offers sleeping space for five people in fixed beds, with two additional berths. The accommodation includes a dining area, mattresses, a kitchen with stove, oven, microwave, and refrigerator. For sanitary comfort, there is an electric toilet system, as well as a shower and hot water supply. The toilet discharge is directly connected to the open water. The water tank has a capacity of 1200 liters, sufficient for extended stays on board. For heating, there is a central heating system, allowing for onboard stays even in cold seasons. Electrical System and Power Supply The electrical system consists of a 12V and 220V system, powered by two batteries with a total capacity of 180 Ah. The power supply is further supported by a battery charger, an inverter, shore power connection, and a solar panel. Additionally, there is a Bosch generator with a capacity of 3000 watts, providing extra independence while sailing or anchoring. Navigation and Safety The Vri-Jon Contessa 42 is equipped with a wide range of navigation equipment, including AIS, GPS, radar, depth sounder, log/speedometer, compass, wind gauge, and VHF radio. For safety, there are life jackets on board and an electric bilge pump. Exterior Equipment and Extras The boat features a teak deck, a cockpit tent, covers, outdoor cushions, and a swim ladder. For anchor use, there is a manual anchor winch with chain. A Zodiac rubber boat with an outboard motor is included, along with a trailer. The trailer is part of the sale and is in working condition. Documentation and Registration The boat is registered under the Belgian flag. Documentation, including the engine manual and route description, is available. The last time the boat was taken out of the water for maintenance and antifouling was in 2021. Usage and History The Vri-Jon Contessa 42 has mainly been used on inland waters for leisure cruising and as a liveaboard. The Vri-Jon Contessa 42 is a steel motor yacht with a functional layout, complete equipment, and solid construction. With its spacious accommodation, extensive electrical system, and navigation equipment, the boat is suitable for both recreational use and extended stays on board. The combination of interior space, outdoor comfort, and technical features makes this vessel an appealing option for those seeking a classic motor yacht with practical characteristics.
