Description

We are selling our beautiful Beneteau First 42S7 FENJA, which over the past year has been our home in Aarhus and our trusted companion on many trips around Danish waters. This summer we spent four weeks cruising the Swedish archipelago, where she sailed flawlessly. FENJA was purchased in the spring of 2024 in the Caribbean, from where we sailed her back to Denmark. Since returning, she has been moored in Aarhus and is now fully prepared and ready for new adventures. Living and sailing aboard FENJA has been a fantastic experience, but we have decided that it’s time for her to find a new owner — someone with fresh dreams and plans for her next chapter. The boat is in good condition and has crossed the Atlantic safely in both 2023 and 2024. ________________________________________ Specifications • Model: Beneteau First 42S7 • Year built: 1994 • Length: 12.95 m • Beam: 4.13 m • Draft: 1.8 m • Engine: Volvo Penta MD22-A, 50 hp – original engine, well maintained • Layout: Three cabins with double berths, two heads with showers, large saloon with navigation station and longitudinal galley Design brochure (Farr Design) Recent Upgrades • Full osmosis treatment (2021, by Jakob Jensens Boatyard) – hull sanded down and rebuilt with epoxy • New standing rigging (2023, Profurl C350 furler) – mast excluded • New boom (2024, Sparcraft F810) • Autopilot (2023, Raymarine EV-400 with P70s display, EV1 sensor, Type 2 long stroke linear drive) • New mainsail (2023, Doyle Sails Denmark – Hydranet Radial 393) • Diesel heater (2025, Vevor 5kW) • Electric toilet (2023, Jabsco 12V Compact) • Anchor windlass (2023, LoFrans X1 Vertical) • Propeller (2021, Autoprop H5 3-blade) • Navigation/anchor lights (2023, Lopolight tricolor) • Refrigerator (2023, Dometic CU86 & VD-09) • Gas stove and oven (2025, Eno Open Sea 2-burner) • New windows (2025, 10/8 mm PMMA 7C83) Equipment • Watermaker (2023, Rainman 12V Compact, 34 l/h) • Sprayhood and cockpit enclosure (2020, KapelAnnat.se) • Batteries: 3 × 200 Ah (2020) + 2 × 180 Ah (2019) • Solar panels (2022, 6 × 130W flexible with regulator) • Dinghy (2022, Zodiac Cadet 270 Alu) + Yamaha 2 hp outboard (2023) • Liferaft (2023, Viking RescYou PRO 8-person, hydrostatic release) • EPIRB (2023, Ocean Signal RescueME) • Autopilot (2023, Raymarine ACU-400, mechanical linear drive type 2) • Radar (Raymarine, year unknown) • Plotter (Raymarine C120, year unknown) • Wind/speed/depth (Raymarine ST60+, year unknown) • AIS (Raymarine AIS650 Class B, year unknown) • VHF (Navman 7110, year unknown) • Handheld VHF (year unknown) • Sails: Two genoas (one in good condition, one fair), two spinnakers (good condition), and a storm jib Additional Information Freshwater pump, water heater, two freshwater tanks (2 × 300 L), diesel tank (130 L), four Lewmar self-tailing winches and two standard Lewmar winches, running rigging in good condition, electric forward toilet and manual aft toilet.
