Phantom 42, Build No. 44 They say the best years are in your forties, and our boat certainly lives up to that. Although she is a bit older, she is in full vigor—fast and well-sailing. S/Y Joy is from 1983, yard-fitted at Vamdrup Shipyard, and is now offered for sale due to health reasons. Length: 42 feet (12.8 meters), beam: 3.52 meters, and draft: 2.1 meters. The boat is made of fiberglass with a lead keel. The boat is incredibly stable and was acquired for long-distance sailing. She has crossed the Atlantic to the Caribbean three times, most recently in 2008, when she remained there until her return in 2018. We sailed her extensively in the Caribbean for about three months each winter over these 11 seasons, and during the rest of the year, we took her ashore at various locations from Trinidad in the south to Tortola (BVI) in the north. Since 2018, she has only been used for short trips—initially due to house construction and since 2022 due to health issues. Status: The boat has been well-used and actively sailed, and many years especially in the Caribbean have left their marks on the teak deck. We have not managed to address this, but it presents a great opportunity for younger hands. The boat received a new engine in 2022, a VETUS M4.45 (45 hp). The engine has run for just 30.6 hours to date. There is a new mainsail with lazy-jack and round battens (never used yet), an older genoa with UV protection in reasonable condition, and a gennaker in a sock that has been used only a few times. The boat is equipped with a Quick windlass for 10 mm chain on one side and rope (unmatched as hoist to masthead) on the other side. A fantastic Rocna anchor weighing 20 kg that has NEVER failed us even in strong winds. The windlass has its own separate battery. There’s a three-part swim platform with a foldable swim ladder. A large sprayhood provides full headroom and shelter with an option for a bimini that can be zipped onto the sprayhood along with side panels and aft panels that create a fully enclosed canopy/tent. There is an older liferaft last inspected in 2007; its usability is unknown but it should be sent for service before use. The boat is equipped with two spinnaker poles with cups. We have used them for butterfly sailing—two headsails deployed on the roller furling forestay. This allows for perfect and calm sailing with minimal adjustments of the sails along the way. Boat layout: A large forward cabin with a double berth. Storage completely at the bow as well as a smaller locker just inside the door. The forward cabin can be closed off. A corridor leads to a large double wardrobe with hanging space as well as an area with good shelf space. Bathroom/toilet equipped with holding tank and drainage option for shower water on the floor. Salon features berths/sofas on both sides; one side has an L-shaped sofa with a salon table in between that can be lowered to convert into a double bed. Galley includes a new ENO gas stove with oven and new Isotherm refrigeration compressor and evaporator—ample cupboard and drawer space. There’s pressurized water and a hot water tank that can be heated via either the boat's engine or 240 V shore power. Aft cabin features two separate berths along with storage space including hanging area and shelves. Previously there was a toilet connected to the aft cabin which can easily be re-established; we have used this space for tools and spare parts. There’s a new electrical system around start and service batteries based on VICTRON units including chargers, large battery-saving busbars on both positive and negative sides, Cyrix relay (ensuring that start battery can only discharge down to 12.8 V while allowing "excess" power both ways between service and start batteries). A battery guard stops service discharge when it drops down to 11.8 V (= time to start shore or engine charging). The boat is equipped with shortwave radio and antenna tuner; these units are currently disconnected but can be quickly re-established. During long voyages, we greatly benefited from a powerful wind generator mounted on a 3 m high pole at the stern; this too is currently disconnected. We have also enjoyed using a relatively heavy 2.7 m CARIB dinghy with removable fiberglass floorboards powered by a 6 hp Toshiba four-stroke engine. Both dinghy and motor require lifting gear which can be provided if needed; we typically bring the dinghy onboard on deck using one of the winches while its motor has its own lift system. The dinghy, motor, and lifting gear can be included in negotiations but are not mandatory. WINDVANE: JOY used an ARIES windvane during her first two Atlantic crossings. On her third crossing in 2008, we installed an autopilot designed for wheel steering—Raymarine ST4000—originally intended for motoring under calm conditions. Our practical experiences with the autopilot led us to stop using the Aries windvane as it produced too much course deviation in long following seas. The Aries windvane is onboard but packed away; it can easily be reinstalled as all fittings are still accessible. We had—believe it or not—two instances of OVERloading of the pilot during crossing but no practical sailing issues; thus it proved superior compared to the windvane. Now she may not be brand new but key components like her new engine, new mainsail etc., are all fine—the rest is cosmetic—nowadays referred to as patina. The boat is currently afloat in her home harbor. Tommy Phone: +45 30255335
