Tryst
44.25 ft' Beneteau 42 Swift Trawler 2006

$ 319,500

The owners of this extraordinary Swift Trawler 42 bought her in 2021 when they made the move from sail to power, with plans to do the Great Loop.  Due to the thousands of miles of cruising they'd be doing in unfamiliar waters, they decided to make very significant upgrades to minimize any downtime..  Below is a list of upgrades and work performed over the last 2 years:

  • New twin Yanmar LY400 400HP common rail turbo-charged engines with 2 engine hours, and a 5 year warranty.  
  • 30 kts at WTO during sea trial
  • Two new ZF transmissions
  • Props re-pitched
  • New Yanmar electronic engine control systems, one set at each helm station
  • Two separate Yanmar emergency control systems at lower helm station
  • Two new aluminum fuel tanks, twice stock metal thickness, 400 gal total (2024)
  • New fuel plumbing
  • Two new primary Racor fuel filters
  • Two new Groco bronze sea strainers
  • Three separate battery banks:  house (2023), bow thruster, engine start
  • Complete set of engine and generator spare parts (filters, belts, zinc, etc)
  • Garmin chart plotters, radar, ICOM VHF, AIS  (All 2022) 
  • Garmin autopilot (2025)
  • Achilles 9' RIB (2022) and Mercury 6hp outboard (2023)
  • Custom dinghy chocks on boat deck
  • Custom spreaders on mast for antennas
  • Four new opening hatches (2022)
  • New upholstery in main salon (2023)
  • New Corian countertops (2023)
  • Bottom sandblasted, barrier coat, primer, three coats bottom paint (2022)
  • Two Ritchie compasses replacing standard Plastimo compasses
  • Two new 25 gal holding tanks and all associated plumbing (2022)
  • Marine Elegance fresh water commodes (2022)
  • New dripless shaft stuffing boxes (2023)
  • New trim tabs ad actuators (2023)
  • Anderson two-speed winch on mast for dinghy handling (2022)
  • Insulated bulkhead between heads (2023)
  • New fire suppression systems in engine room and lazarette (2023)

While the owners thoroughly appreciated Tryst and her seakeeping and running attributes, they have found a new boat, and are seriously offering Tryst for sale.  It is that rare opportunity to buy a used 42 Swift Trawler that rivals a new 42 at a third of the price.  

Tryst has been waxed (hull and cabin), fully commissioned and ready to go.  She must be seen to be appreciated.
